Our
Mission Statement
The
Audubon Outdoor Club was organized in
1957 to encourage and perpetuate the observation and conservation
of wildlife. To that end, the Audubon Outdoor Club owns five
sanctuaries and serves as stewards for two nature preserves owned
by the City of Corpus Christi. We support and participate in the
Hazel Bazemore Hawk Watch, and are Charter members of the Gulf Coast
Bird Observatory. We encourage the preservation of native
habitat, demonstrating its value by habitat restoration in Blucher
Park, a valuable migratory stopover for birds during spring
migration. Through monthly meetings and field trips, our members
remain aware of and are able to participate in activities to
achieve our goals of both wildlife and habitat preservation.

WATCH! - Monitor daily reports from August 15 to November 15 each
fall at Hazel Bazemore County Park through our sister hawk

group. |
