{Reposting from new e-mail address as my first submission didn't show up in the archives} Sunday the 21st is fast approaching. I still need birders for the Brazoria NWR area. We'll meet at 7:00 AM at the visitor center off CR 227. Please reply to bobwhitebsacbc@xxxxxxxxx if you're planning on coming so I'll know to look for you, and let me know your birding ability and whether you'd prefer driving, walking, or slogging through the marsh. And anyone who wants to meet me at the front gate at 5:30 AM (along CR 227) to look for owls is certainly welcome. All participants are invited to the countdown dinner afterwards. Brazoria NWR: From the intersection of Highway 288 and FM 523 in Angleton, take FM 523 to Highway 2004 intersection. Continue South on 523 for 5.5 miles to County Road 227. Turn left on CR 227 and proceed 1.7 miles to the refuge entrance. The visitor center at which we meet is about three miles beyond the gate. Do NOT just type the refuge name into your GPS device. It will send you to the administrative office. The coordinates are 29.061691,-95.2632976 or 29°03'42.1"N 95°15'47.9"W, more or less. Bring optics, lunch and bug spray. Call the number below if you have any questions. If someone with a Facebook account would post this to the Texbirds Facebook page I'd appreciate it.
