I am happy to announce the first TOS Weekender of 2014: Hill Country Weekender The spring Weekender will focus on Breeding Bird Specialties of the Texas Hill Country and Dr. Byron Stone has agreed to provide the classroom instruction. Byron is President Elect of TOS. This Weekender will be headquartered at the Holiday Inn Express in Uvalde, Texas and first preference will be given to current TOS members. The program will feature classroom instruction both Friday and Saturday evenings and field trips on Saturday and Sunday mornings. You can expect to be through by noon on Sunday for return travel. The Weekender is limited to 30 participants, so if you are interested I urge you to contact me soon. The fee for this event will $75.00 for members and $100.00 for non-members (which includes a one year membership fee). Should there be any entrance fees to birding sites on our field trips, those will be paid by the participants. To secure your place on this Weekender contact Jim Hailey at irasciblej@xxxxxxxxx.
