Texas Bird Festivals

"Birding is an activity, some say an obsession, of increasing popularity. Authorities have estimated that there are some 61 million birders in this country. With over 600 documented bird species, Texas retains its claim as being the most exciting place to birdwatch in the continental United States. More than 75 percent of all birds occurring in the U.S. have been reported from Texas."

Bastrop County Audubon Society

"Bastrop County is located in the southeastern portion of central Texas, 30 miles east of Austin, the capital of the state. The Colorado River snakes it way across the county, through the historic towns of Bastrop and Smithville that are nestled along its banks. The biologically unique region, known as the "Lost Pines of Texas", boasts stands of towering loblolly pines and oaks that form a dense green canopy that shades the forest floor, and provides abundant habitat for birds and other wildlife. In other parts of the county, rolling meadows come alive with wildflowers in the spring and contribute to the natural beauty that prevails in the county."

Bexar Audubon is a chapter of the National Audubon Society....with a mission to serve species/habitat conservation while improving the environmental education of our community!
