Our next scheduled field trip is to Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary on High Island on Sat., April 24. 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. At this time of year, they will be tending their nestlings and watching for the alligators that live on the banks of the rookery. Bring water, sunscreen and mosquito repellent and snacks. A tripod is highly recommended.
