In addition to our special Halloween bird walk tomorrow ( see the announcement
below) we have another great opportunity this coming Friday.
On Friday Nov 2 Dr. Keith Arnold, professor emeritus from Texas A&M University
will present a program on the History of the Texas Ornithological Society. He
will speak from 9-11 am at Kleb Woods Nature Center. As an active ornithologist
for almost 50 years in Texas he has lived much of the ornithological history of
the state. He has also been on the Texas Rare Bird Committee for 40 years and
has reviewed all of the rare bird records for that period. He is a walking
encyclopedia of bird distribution in Texas. I am sure if you bring his Field
Guide to the Birds of Texas he will be happy to autograph it for you as well.
If you have not had an opportunity to meet Dr. Arnold and hear him speak you
should not pass up this opportunity. Hope to see you here this Friday!

Subject: [texbirds] Special Halloween Bird Walk at Kleb Woods Oct 31st
The weekly Wednesday bird walk at Kleb Woods Nature Center will fall on
Halloween this coming week. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes as
long as they don't frighten birds. Audubon impersonators will not be allowed to
discharge muskets in the park however! Roger Tory Peterson impersonators must
speak loud enough for me to hear. Ken Kaufman impersonators may eat dog food
but not Kough too loudly while getting it down.
If you identify a bird correctly you will get a treat, if wrong a trick! Of
course you must use the names on our special Halloween bird list to keep it
interesting.
Hope you will join us. The walk starts at the nature center building 20303
Draper Road, Tomball TX 77377 at 8:30 am. The walk usually goes until about
11:00 but I suspect this one will run a bit longer. Birding has been
interesting of late, last Wednesday's walk had 5 Blood-breasted Nuthatchets
(aka Red-breasted Nuthatches) and 2 Nightmare Mannikins (aka Nutmeg Manikin)
