Outings

A lot of our field trips are popular repeats. Here is a list of most of these, and the usual seasons in which they are scheduled. You can find a more complete description of the parks themselves on the Sanctuaries page, along with a map and directions.

• Rock Springs trip to see Hummingbirds. Fall
• Blowing wind cave. Bats by the thousands! Bring a hat! August.
• Annual Christmas Bird Count. Winter.
• Pre Christmas count survey
• Guntersville State Park Bald Eagle trips. Winter.
• The Moonlight Hike. Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge.
• Bankhead National Forest. Several trips throughout the year.

Volunteers needed!

If you are interested in TVAS, and are willing to help, we have several areas in which your contributions would be much appreciated. For information on these and other areas,e-mail Ruby Norman or Jim White.

There are also volunteer opportunities to help with the web site! Here are some areas we could especially use some help with, while you sharpen your own web-skills:

• Computer Graphics. This involves creating images, text-images and graphics for use in imagemaps. Don't worry if you don't know imagemaps, or web design.
• Surfing. We always are in need of keeping a *good* set of fairly comprehensive birding links. This means validating existing links (there are several great shareware programs to do this automatically), as well as looking for new ones.
• Copywriting. Several areas could use some extra effort in this regard!
• Photography Excursions. We have a good many spots already documented in the sanctuaries section, but there are always more!
  

Contact Phill Gibson if you would like to help with any aspects of the web site!
