PTAS Monthly Chapter Meetings

Prairie and Timbers Audubon Society meets the fourth Tuesday of the month, September through November, and January through May at the Heard Natural Science Museum in McKinney, Texas. The annual Christmas Bird Count replaces the December meeting, and no meetings are scheduled in June, July or August. Our meetings are free and open to the public. You can attend most meetings in person or via Zoom.

Our monthly meetings offers informative and interesting programs and exceptional speakers with slide shows to teach and thrill members and guests. The board diligently pursues a full array of interests to promote better understanding of the birding world and to have entertaining yet educational programs. Guests are always welcome and there is no Heard Museum charge for attending the chapter meeting. To suggest a program speaker or subject, contact Denise Dengler, program chairperson, 972-208-7448.
