We’re thrilled to welcome David Sarkozi for a lively and engaging presentation about his incredible birding adventures. With decades of experience and a passion for conservation, David brings stories from the field that are as entertaining as they are informative.

Yes — his acclaimed new field guide will be available for purchase, and yes — he’ll be happy to sign your copy!

📅 Date: Saturday, July 26
🕑 Time: 2:00 PM
📍 Location: Texas Chenier Plain Refuges Visitor Center
      4017 FM 563, Anahuac, TX

“Birds of Texas” is a big book—614 pages big—but even that isn’t enough space to capture the full story of Texas’s incredible birdlife. There are just too many fascinating facts and stories that don’t fit into the format of a field guide.

Did you know one of the most common ducks in Texas is mostly nocturnal? Or that the names behind Rivoli’s and Anna’s hummingbirds have surprising connections—including a link to Bond... James Bond?

Join us for an afternoon of birding tales, hidden gems, and behind-the-scenes insights that go far beyond the pages of the book!

Don't miss this chance to connect with fellow birders and enjoy an afternoon of nature, knowledge, and inspiration!
