Audubon Society Field Trip to Sabine Woods

This trip will look for Neotropical migrants at the height of spring migration. Assemble at Sabine Woods at 7:30 a.m. (You should be able to find the group if you are unable to be there quite that early.) At Sabine Woods, there is a small parking area, with additional parking improvised using the roadside verges. Portable toilets are available at the entrance during spring migration. This trip involves relatively easy walking on the trails at Sabine Woods to look for migrant songbirds, although another option is to sit at one of the drips and wait for the birds to come to you. The trails may be muddy and slippery if it has rained in the prior day or two. Armadillos and feral pigs have been very active, so there will be holes to avoid! There is an $8 sanctuary pass donation at Sabine Woods for those who are not members of Golden Triangle Audubon or TOS. This field trip is especially suited for not-very experienced birders. Often, the participants are divided into smaller groups, with an experienced birder or two in each group.  The insect population may be significant, so it will be a good idea to bring insect repellent. Most participants will bring lunch. Facilities in Sabine Pass are limited, and gasoline is not currently routinely available in Sabine Pass.
