BIRD WALKS WITH THESOUTHLAKE ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETYFor more information contact: Dr. Ray Chancellor at raychancellor@aol.com or 817-689-7920 CHECK BACK SOON FOR MORE BIRD HIKES All are welcome to join them! Directions To Bird Walk Locations Please note: If it is raining at the start time of the hike or if there is lightning in the area, the hike will be cancelled. The trails can be muddy after rainy periods. Some parts of the trails have been flooded most of the winter. Red mud can stain white sneakers. Wear shoes that can get muddy, preferably waterproof walkers. A hat or cap with a sun visor is always recommended. Rain will bring out mosquitoes. Be sure to bring insect repellant and sun screen. Do NOT wear white clothing, the reflected ultra violet light causes the birds to quickly scatter. Most hikes take 2 to 2 1/2 hours and are of little to moderate difficulty. All hikes are so designed so that people needing to leave early can get back to their cars at approximate half-way points. It is advisable to bring water. The Southlake Ornithological Society hikes are designed primarily for adults but the Bob Jones Nature Center provides wonderful trail activities for children. Approximately 30 minutes before the walks I can be reached on my cell phone, 817-680-7920, if you get lost and need directions to the starting locations. Please do not call that number at any other times. I do not normally have it on or answer it at other times. BOB JONES NATURE CENTER HIKESCurrently there are no guided hikes scheduled but you are welcome to come out to the Nature Center and enjoy the trails on your own.
