Monthly Bird Survey

Description

Join the Galveston Bay Foundation for a monthly volunteer-led bird survey at Sweetwater Preserve on the first Tuesday of each month.

This private property spans over 140 acres of restored habitat, featuring a mixture of coastal prairie, estuarine marsh, salt flats, freshwater wetlands, brackish wetlands, and coastal woodlots.

All levels of birders are welcome! Bring your own gear.

Volunteers will assist GBF Dedicated Volunteers in bird identification and data recording while on location at a wilderness preserve in a variety of weather conditions ranging from cold overcast weather to warm and sunny.
