Virtual Lunch Series with Patsy Inglet

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Title: LBJs: Beauty in Brown
Speaker: Patsy Inglet
Summary: Sparrows sometimes just don’t get the respect they deserve. They are one of most important groups of MIGRATORY birds in Texas and well worthy of any bird enthusiast’s serious attention for their subtle beauty and diversity. My goal in this program is to expand your awareness and appreciation of the little brown beauties that brighten our area in winter and to make us more perceptive observers of this very important and very accessible bird family. I hope that you will NEVER again look at a native Texas sparrow as “just an LBJ”.

About the Speaker: Patsy Inglet is a native Texan originally from the Houston area, although she lived and worked 25 years overseas as a teacher with her engineer husband, Tom. They “retired” to the San Antonio area in 1999 and started their new career as “professional volunteers.” Birds started as a volunteer interest but have now become a passion and a focus of Patsy’s educational and conservation efforts and recreational activities and travels. She and Tom have traveled to every continent to see as many birds as possible, banded birds in the field, monitored birds in the nest, and taught many children and adults the basics of birding.
As current President of Bexar Audubon Society, Patsy supports National Audubon Society initiatives within the 9-county area that Bexar Audubon serves, working to ensure that the birds we enjoy today will be here forever. Connecting people of all ages with nature, via birds, and helping to conserve our natural legacy have become top priorities in Patsy’s life. Sparrows are one of her favorite groups of Texas birds.
