Travis Audubon's field trips are fantastic! The volunteer leaders are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming to beginners. Saw my first Golden-cheeked Warbler at their spring walk at Balcones Canyonlands. Free weekly walks are an amazing resource for the Austin birding community!

Took the Introduction to Birds and Birding class and it completely transformed my understanding of local birds. The combination of classroom instruction and field trips was perfect. Now I'm enrolled in the Master Birder Program!
