Good morning everyone! 

Clyde May has graciously given us permission to conduct a LEAS bird walk this 
coming Saturday at Tahoka Lake.

Please arrive by 8:15 am so we can begin the bird walk by 8:30 am. Please don’t 
arrive before 8:00 am so as not to disturb Clyde. You are all welcome to leave 
the bird walk when you need to.

The weather that morning will be in the low 70s and will reach a high of 96 
with winds about 13 MPH. Be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, good hiking shoes 
(there are snakes out there), water and snacks.

The drive down is pretty straight forward as we stay on 87 most of the way 
down. It will only take about 30 minutes to get there. The actual turn-off for 
the Lake is not as easy to see, so follow the directions below carefully.

If you are familiar with Tahoka Lake and would consider leading a group on 
Saturday (depending upon attendance), please reach out.

This is a special and unique location. Hope to see you there.

Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the 
number below.

Llano Estacado Audubon Society

1. From Lubbock: Take IH 27 South; it turns into SH 87. Continue south into 
Lynn County; you will pass "Poka Lambro" on the right, and once you pass that, 
look for signs for FM 211 (to WIlson).

2. You will need to get in the left lane, and take FM 211 east towards Wilson. 
This left turn is directly east of a Zimmatic-pivot-sprinkler place. 

3. Stay on FM 211 through Wilson, until you hit a flashing red light at FM 400. 

4. Take a right on FM 400; pass the LoneStar Coop Gin.

5. Continue south FM for ~3.1 miles. Be alert for a large black mailbox marked 
883 FM 400 (ON YOUR LEFT) ---> *BEFORE* the mailbox you will turn left, and 
cross over an old railroad track. There will be a sign that says "Tahoka Lake 
Pasture". 

6. Continue on the pavement; cross the first cattle guard. Continue on the 
gravel road. Cross the second cattle guard. Continue on the gravel road until 
you see a fork in the road. 

7. Take the left fork (toward the actual lake of Tahoka Lake); continue down 
the hill.

8. The green-metal building will be the rendezvous place.
