Our Annual Picnic was held on Thursday, May 21, 2009, at Eastham-Thomason Park. We had a great crowd of about 25 and lots of yummy picnic food. Thanks to everyone for contributing to the food and fun!

We've had a great year! We hope everyone has a wonderful, fun-filled summer!

In Memory of Jack Prouty

We received sad news that our dear friend and long-time member, Dorothy Huskey, has passed away. Local service will be on 5/29/09, 3:30 p.m., at Walker Education Building on 19th Street.

Memorial Conservation Fund has been set up. Contributions can be mailed to Huntsville Audubon Society, P.O. Box 6818, Huntsville, TX 77342-6818. Please note that your donation is for this fund. If you wish to donate in memory of another loved one or in honor of someone, please designate your wishes in the memo section of your check. Plans are underway to construct a bird/photo blind, possibly at Huntsville State Park, in memory of Jack Prouty. If you want your donation applied to a different project, please note that with your donation. Thank you so much.

Post Hurricane Ike recovery continues along our coast line. The sanctuaries suffered severe damage and will be a long time recovering. Tree removal and fence repair have been the focus so far.  Volunteers are desperately needed to participate in the work days. You can check the following websites for information on work days, progress, and contact information:
