12 Noon
The Pavilion at Ascarate Park
Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon
Join us for our Annual Meeting and awards ceremony on Feb 8, 2025 at the Pavilion at Ascarate Park in El Paso. This year we are having lunch instead of dinner so we can do some bird watching too!
Star Posada will lead a bird walk at the park at 10 a.m., also meeting at the Pavilion. Participants can expect to see several species of duck, burrowing owls, and blackbirds. And the possibility of some surprises as well!
The luncheon will start with a meet-and-greet at noon and lunch at 12:30. Participants do not need to go on the bird walk to come to lunch. The cost is $20 per person, which includes the meal, drinks, and dessert. Please RSVP by sending a check made out to El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon Society to Eddie Chew at 390 Flemish Circle, El Paso TX 79912. Please indicate your meal preference: beef, chicken, vegetarian, or vegan. Also let us know if you have any dietary restrictions. The reservation deadline is Saturday, Feb 1. Please contact us at elpasoaudubon@gmail.com with any questions.
This year we are honoring El Paso Water for their many years of conservation efforts, especially their support for Rio Bosque Wetlands Park. Jennifer Barr, Water Conservation Manager, will present “Water Conservation in El Paso.” Drew Aliyas, Climate and Research Program Manager, will present “El Paso Water’s Rio Bosque Nature Sequestration Zone.” These presentations will be in person only due to technical constraints with streaming.
Summary:
- Bird walk with Star Posada from 10 a.m. until noon.
- Meet-and-greet from noon until 12:30.
- Lunch starts at 12:30.
- Presentations start around 1 pm.
Directions to the Pavilion once entering Ascarate Park:
- Follow the RE Thomason Loop straight down (Lake should be on your right side)
- Continue until you see Pavilion on your left
- Park either inside the Pavilion gates, in front of the Pavilion, or on Joe Yarbrough Dr., immediately south of the Pavilion.

Welcome!
The El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon Society is a chapter of the National Audubon Society. We have a large territory, all of Texas west of the Pecos River ("Trans-Pecos"). Our members are found throughout the Trans-Pecos, but most live in the region's largest city, El Paso. Birds, birding, wildlife, the environment, and our community are the concerns of the El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon Society.
