Welcome to the Bird Study Group
The Bird Study Group is a northwestern Louisiana organization of birders based in Shreveport. The Bird Study Group offers field trips, bird discussions, a bird sighting database, and other programs for people with an interest in birds. Regular meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month except June, July and August.
We will not meet in December, but will meet again on Tuesday, January 13.
The Bird Study Group will assist with hosting the winter meeting of the Louisiana Ornithological Society here in Shreveport on January 23rd and 24th, 2026.
BSG members Dr. Charles Lyon and Melissa Weaver have lined up two excellent speakers and a variety of field trips as part of the conference. The presentations will be held on the LSUS campus.

"Let no one tell you again that science is only for specialists; it is not. It is no different from history or good talk or reading a novel; some people do it better and some worse; some make a life's work of it; but it is within the reach of everybody."
Jacob Bronowski in "A Sense of the Future" (1977, Cambridge, MA, MIT Press, p. 4)
