Our next scheduled field trip is to Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary on High Island on Sat., April 24. Â We will meet at the First Baptist Church of Kingwood at 11:30 a.m. to form carpools, or you can meet us at the sanctuary.
The rookery if full of roseate spoonbills, snowy egrets, cormorants and many other birds. Â At this time of year, they will be tending their nestlings and watching for the alligators that live on the banks of the rookery. Â Bring water, sunscreen and mosquito repellent and snacks. Â A tripod is highly recommended.
