Background Information

Houston Audubons conducts monthly bird surveys of the Armand Bayou Nature Center property. The survey is held on the second Saturday of each month. The survey uses Christmas count protocol. This is your opportunity to have early access to all ABNC grounds and provide much needed data on all the avian inhabitants of ABNC, a precious island of wilderness amongst urban sprawl. Volunteer birders and area leaders are needed for this project. To participate, meet Andrew at 7:00 AM in the Armand Bayou Nature Center parking lot. We will compile results no later than 10:00 AM. Bring binocs, fluid, sun and insect protection.
