To a man, ornithologists are tall, slender, and
bearded so that they can stand motionless for
hours, imitating kindly trees, as they watch for
birds.

                    TWO HOUR TUESDAYS

Have you discovered Two Hour Tuesdays?

Seasonal eight-week series of free, accessible bird
walks, perfect for students, seniors, newcomers
to Austin, or anyone who can spare two hours on
a Tuesday morning. Most sites visited will be in
the city limits and convenient (on alternate
weeks) to those who live north or south of
downtown - it's a great way to explore your own
neighborhood hot spots! No registration required,
just follow the published directions and spend a
couple of hours birding with a group led by TAS
field trip leaders. Beginners welcome, but bring
your own binoculars! All winter walks will start at
9 a.m., one hour later than the fall walks.
