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.

The Bird Study Group will meet Tuesday, April 14, at 6:30 pm in the LSUS Museum of Life Sciences.



Jon Soul with "Friends of Coates Bluff" will provide a program entitled:

Coates Bluff Nature Trail: A Place for the Birds

Jon was the driving force behind saving Coates Bluff and developing a trail to access this unique area. Located in the heart of Shreveport-Bossier near the Red River, this program will explore the historical, ecological, and social significance of this inner-city greenspace. He will discuss the origins of the trail, current efforts to improve bird habitat, and ways to get involved.

The program is free and open to the public. Meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. Come at 6 p.m. to chat with other birders. For more information or directions to the LSUS Museum, you can call 318-347-3134 or email: lrraymond@aol.com.

"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)
