Go birding with us!
"Birding by Chair" is a public, open-air birdwatching place we've set up with help from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept. at the Isle du Bois unit of Lake Ray Roberts Park. We stock it with plenty of fresh food for all the birds, plus a "water drip" system that seems to attract birds like crazy! Our goal? We simply hope it'll foster a love of watching birds!
Birding By Chair is open to clubs, groups, neighbors, scout troops, informal gatherings of office workers etc. - 4 to 20 people. You choose whatever time is good for you. We'll be there and bring the chairs, and we won't charge a cent, or give you a sales pitch. Information only!
This is a simple way for novice birdwatchers to sit outside and - from about 50 ft. away -watch lots of birds and ask questions. It's on the edge of a wooded area at the park, where we have a large feeder. One of us "narrates" in a loud whisper (sort of like a golf announcer) with comments like "there's a male Northern Cardinal a foot to the right of the feeder".
It's totally adaptable to your group's schedule! To set one up or ask questions, call us at 940-484-BIRD [2473]. Or if just one or two people want to tag along with a big group, let us know.
