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 have a regular BSG meeting in October. Instead, we will hold a bird walk at the Red River NWR Headquarters unit on Saturday, October 17, beginning at 8 am. We will assemble on the boardwalk. Chris Merritt and I will lead the walk before the Refuge Celebration begins at 10 am. I will man a table for the master naturalists at the celebration from 10 am to 2 pm. I plan to have an activity involving birds and welcome anyone who wants to help. If anyone is interested in providing a November program, please let me know. Larry Raymond
The program is free and open to the public. For more information or directions to the LSUS Museum, you can call 318-347-3134 or email: lrraymond@aol.com.
We will be accepting dues for those who have not paid in a while and want to contribute to our group. Individual memberships are only $15.00 and family memberships are $20.00.

"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)
