Bird Scavenger Hunt

If you enjoy bird watching, join the fun at the 7th annual Fort Worth Audubon Society Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, July 23.  Bird watches of all ages and skill levels are welcome. RSVP for the hunt by July 21 by e-mailing ahoov@sbcglobal.net.

 

Participants will meet in the parking lot of Al's Hamburgers, 1001 NE Green Oaks Boulevard, at 5:45 am to register and check in. The scavenger hunt will be held from 6 am to noon throughout Tarrant County. Each team decides their own birding locations, but the area is restricted to Tarrant County.

 

Cost to participate is $3 per person, with all proceeds going to the winning teams. Participants can form their own team, or Fort Worth Audubon Society will place them on a team.

Teams will meet back at Al's for lunch, and to tally results and award prizes. Each bird species is assigned points based on rarity to the area. For example, a Blue Jay is common and worth 1 point; a Pileated Woodpecker is considered occasional and worth 5 points.

 

Rules, bird checklists with points and more information is available at www.fwas.org.
