Sign on to join Bill and Ann Edwards for a morning of birding at Cherry Springs Ranch! Terry Banks and Natalia Malesa will lead the tour.

Plan on about 1.0 to 1.5 miles of mostly level walking.  Where the ground is rough, there will be a road close by.

Some cool features of the ranch include:

• The ranch has grasslands, thickets, pastures, woods, and a creek bottom as well as Cherry Springs itself, named for the Escarpment Black Cherry trees.
• It has owl boxes, turkey feeders, around-the-house hummer feeders, chimney swift towers, a bunch of Purple Martin houses and gourds, and 40-odd Paul and Georgean Kyle bluebird boxes.
• It has breeding Golden-cheeked Warblers and Black Capped Vireos.
• It has dinosaur tracks, a place where birders look down for a few minutes instead of looking up.

Plan to meet around 7:30 a.m. at a location in Bee Cave to convoy or carpool to the ranch. Details will be sent to registrants. Bring snacks, drinks, and a sack lunch. We will eat lunch on the deck at the ranch house, check the owl cams on TV and internet, and enjoy the hilltop hummingbirds and Purple Martins. Then it is back to civilization around noon or 12:30.
