Get Ready for Spring Migration 2024!
With a whopping 659 species, South Texas is home to many species of birds, some that are found nowhere else in America. This abundance and variety peaks during the Spring Migration. It’s that special time of year we all love, when birds are fluffing their feathers and prepping for their long journey. Luckily South Texas is on their flyway, with plenty of food, water, and rest areas to offer. What better place to enjoy this stunning array of beauty
We are excited to present an extravaganza of Land and Water Field Trips (Full and Half Day) (AM and PM), Presentations, Workshops, Nature-Related Exhibitors, and as always, the thrilling Raptor Project. Come taste, share, and experience the “locals” and bring some South Texas home from our Artisan Market. We will kick off the Festival with a Southern Welcome of Texas BBQ.
Whether by foot, vehicle, or boat the Birdiest Festival in America is sure to have something for everyone’s birding pleasure.
Deadline: Open registration will end at 5pm CDT on Monday, April 16, 2024. Walk-in registration is possible during the event for any trips with space available, or for individual seminars.
