4/12 Pedernales Falls Field Trip

We’ll be having a field trip to the Pedernales Falls State Park bird blind on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 10am. You will need to make a park reservation (cost $6 if you don’t already have a pass) ahead of time by clicking here. Feel free to bring a guest as this is a great introduction to some of the interesting things we do.

This will also be a great opportunity to fine tune some of your photography. If you have questions about settings for photographing birds, there should be plenty of experienced club members to ask for advice.

The bird blind is about half a mile from the park station on the left side of the road and is well signed.

This year’s Christmas party will take place on Friday, December 12th at 6:30 PM, located at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church (301 Hays Country Acres Road).

For this year’s event, we are serving chicken piccata, with the option to add shrimp if desired.

Please RSVP by Thursday, December 4th, which should include:
    •  If you are attending YES or NO
                 If yes:
            ▪  Number of attendees in your party
            ▪  Whether you will bring a dish – if so, specify what dish you will bring. Deserts, salads, and side dishes are always appreciated.

We will also be hosting our traditional “white elephant” gift exchange. To participate, simply bring a wrapped gift valued at $25 or less. Our master of ceremonies for the evening will once again be none other than Doug Gephardt. Even if you choose not to partake in the gift exchange, I assure you it will be an enjoyable and entertaining evening for all.
