Texas Birding Links

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."
Bird Forum
The place to talk with other birders about all things
birdy. A One Stop Shop of forums, chat rooms, a gallery
to put up your bird pictures and trip reports and much more.

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."

popularity. Authorities have estimated that there are some 61
million birders in this country today — almost the same number
as all the hunters and fishermen combined. With close to 600
documented bird species, Texas retains its claim to being one of
the most exciting places to pursue this activity in the
