Whooping Crane Trip to Rockport-Fulton, TX
Friday through Sunday, February 13 – 15, 2009
Join Audubon Dallas to see this year’s record-breaking flock of 266-275 Whooping Cranes in their winter grounds at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. For more information, click here.
The only natural wild flock of whooping cranes winters on the Texas coast near Rockport, TX. The best way to view numerous whooping cranes up close is by boat along the Inter-coastal Waterway. On Saturday, we will take the Wharf Cat boat trip from 10 am to 2 pm to view whooping cranes and other bird species. On Sunday, we will travel to the nearby Aransas National Wildlife Refuge . Accommodations will be at the Best Western Inn by the Bay, 3902 N Highway 35 in Fulton, Texas. If you are interested in this trip, contract the trip leader for more information about prices and hotel reservations and to RSVP.

The mission of Audubon Dallas is the conservation of birds and other wildlife, the protection of habitat and bio diversity, and the provision of education and opportunities for our entire community to observe and appreciate birds and nature.
Audubon Dallas was incorporated in 1973 as a chapter of the National Audubon Society. Today, Audubon Dallas consists of approximately 1,500 members with a focus on birds and wildlife. One of our primary goals is to raise funds in order to expand our current programs, field trips and volunteer efforts in order to reach more children and family groups. We hope these family programs will foster discussions in the home, and make every family aware of the important role it plays in the local environmental community. We teach about our local flora and fauna including the importance of the preservation of local ecosystems through conservation. We publish a bi-monthly newsletter and keep records of the birds of Dallas County. |
