The Austin Audubon Society will  be hosting the 6th
annual Oak Savanna Birding Festival at the J C Hormel Nature Center.   In
past years we have seen between 120-130 species of birds

.  In these tough economic times you won't find a better bargain, $30 for
two days of birding.   In addition, the tour groups are small so you will
get a lot of individual attention.
