Details:

Last year, Lucas and I decided to take on the challenge of birding in Southern Texas for his Spring vacation, in a state he had never before birded. We were delighted to learn that, Connor, one of his best, Young Birder friends, could join us with his grandfather for most of our expedition. Lucas and Connor spent hours researching many of the best Southern Texas birding locations. We were off, flying into Houston and traveling to incredible birding meccas from the Southeast Coast along the Louisiana border, to Corpus Christi on the Gulf Coast, to the Southern Rio Grande, and inland as far North as San Antonio in search of birds that we had never seen before and the colorful spring migrants passing through the Texas landscape. We will share some of the favorite birding hot spots that we visited including Sabine Woods, Anahuac NWR, Bolivar Flats NWR, High Island, Corus Christi’s Rose Hill Cemetery, South Padre Island, Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park, Salineno Wildlife Preserve, Lost Maples State Natural Preserve, and W.G. Jones State Forest. We will take you on our journey and show some of our best photos of many of the 285 species we observed on our 10 day trip (including nearly 50 life birds). This will be a Hybrid Meeting: with our in-person gathering at the Napa Valley Lutheran Church located at 1796 Elm St. Napa, CA.
