Texas Ornithological Society Spring Meeting

May 2 - 5, 2024

TOS is excited to return to Weslaco for our 2024 Spring Meeting in the Rio Grande Valley. We will again partner with the Valley Nature Center in Weslaco. 
Working with the VNC, we have planned an array of field trips in the area. Birds we will search for include Valley specialties like Plain Chachalaca, Altamira Oriole, Gray Hawk and Aplomado Falcon.  There is always the chance a rarity will show up.
 Field trips will offer excellent birding on private ranches, public parks and locales and state parks, with the opportunity to jump-start or complete your Century Club lists in the counties in the tip of Texas. We will cover Cameron and Hidalgo Counties of course, with trips to Kleberg, Starr, Jim Hogg, Willacy, and Zapata Counties. 

The weather is mild, the hospitality is warm, and the birds are hot! We look forward to seeing you there. Register
