Salt Lake Rookery Habitat restoration and clean-up is now confirmed for Thursday, September 26, 2019 beginning at 9:30 am. Meeting place will be 59 Copano Ridge in Rockport.
This project consists of installing 2 heron platforms, placing 4 “nesting” signs, and general clean-up of two rookeries. Bring work gloves, and a reusable water bottle. If you have a machete, potato rake, or shovel, those will be helpful. You are welcome to bring your own kayak, but it is not necessary. We will have one or two bay boats. CBBEP is providing all the building material and KACB will provide clean-up bags. We will have snacks and water available. Email Vickie or call her at 512-565-3868 for more information.

We walk the Rail Trail and Heron Flats Trail, check out the fishing pier, the tower, and the auto loop. After the field work, we meet at HQ to complete reporting. We usually bird until 1 pm and are finished by 3 pm. To volunteer, please contact Janet Price. Beginning birders are welcome; it’s a great way to learn. Come for all or part of the day.
