Go Birding In A State Park

Migrate to a Local State Park and Go Birding
AUSTIN— Grab your family and friends and go birding as spring migration begins throughout your favorite Texas State Parks.
Birding is easy for families and friends of all ages and levels of expertise.

Beginning birders can download an Introduction to Birding (PDF) to learn what to look and listen for in their favorite state park. Even people who are new to birding can have fun spotting easily identifiable species, like northern cardinals, green jays, great kiskadees, painted buntings, roseate spoonbills and brown pelicans.

This year marks the 18th annual Great Texas Birding Classic being held from April 15 to May 15. The birding classic follows the Great Texas Wildlife Trail, a set of driving maps to wildlife viewing sites throughout the state, and these maps include the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, the nation’s first trail of its kind.

Birding events in your area include:
San Angelo State Park
• Birding Adventure with a Ranger
• Join a Park Ranger to see resident and migrating birds visiting the park.
• View the birds at the feeders from the Wildlife Viewing Blind and throughout the park.  Bring binoculars and wear sturdy shoes.
