Birding doesn’t get much better than spring on the Upper Texas Coast. High Island is a world-famous migrant trap, which during April can be jumping with warblers, vireos, thrushes, tanagers and grosbeaks. Nearby on Bolivar Peninsula, the mud-flats, marshes and rice fields are host to hordes of shorebirds refueling for their long trip to northern breeding grounds. We’ll be based in Winnie for the first three nights. Migrant activity on the coast is variable, so our daily itineraries will change as needed. We’ll visit the High Island sanctuaries, Sabine Woods, Bolivar Flats, and Anahuac NWR.

Our trip into the Piney Woods of East Texas will give us a day to bird one of the most botanically-rich ecosystems in North America. We’ll have a chance at many East Texas specialties like Red-cockaded Woodpecker, Bachman’s Sparrow, Brown-headed Nuthatch, and Swallow-tailed Kite, along with as many as 12 species of nesting warblers in full song. We will spend the night in Jasper and visit the Big Thicket National Preserve and Angelina National Forest. We will leave on April 23 and return to Austin by 6:00 PM on April 27. 

Registration for this team is $150.  Participants’ travel, hotel and meals are not included. We will carpool and share gas expenses. The trip is limited to 10 participants. All participants must comply with Travis Audubon's COVID-19 events policy. Contact Eric Stager (mail@ericstager.com) for more information.
