Pre-registration refers to the process of registering prior to arrival at the festival.

Pre-registration may be accomplished by Mail or Fax or Online.

Full payment must be made at the time of pre-registration. Payment may be made by Check/Money Order (Mail) or Visa/MasterCard (Mail, Fax, or Online).

A separate registration form must be submitted for each participant.

Children under 10 yrs old cannot be registered for any trip or for any seminar UNLESS the activity is especially designated as "For Families". As birders understand, some trips can be long, tiring and test the stamina for young children. Many trips require birders to proceed with stealth and quietly and to be able to listen to quiet whisperings of the leader, a sudden noise from a baby or a youngster can be very disruptive.

Pre-registration MUST be received by Tuesday April 1 at 11pm CST to receive a mailed or emailed confirmation. We encourage you to provide an email address so that we may send your confirmation via email. Remember that most events have limited seating and reservations will be filled in the order received.

A "registration" fee is required to attend any birding event or evening social. There is an additional "event" fee for each event except those indicated as Paid For.

However no "registration" fee is required if you ONLY wish to attend the Birding for New Birders inside and outside on Saturday April 5, or if you ONLY wish to attend the “All about Birds for new birders” seminar and associated field trip (Easy Birding at East End Lagoon) on Sunday morning….but of course there are fees for each "event".

Registration packets, which include your name badge, MUST be picked up at the Old Galveston Square building registration site before your first field trip. You will be required to sign a standard liability waiver at that time, before going on any field trip.If you go on a kayak trip you will also need to fill out a liability and medical information form for the Artist Boat. It will save you time at Registration if you Click here for a copy of both of the waivers, and fill it out ahead of time and bring it with you.
