8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Join Round Rock Parks and Recreation and Travis Audubon on a monthly bird walk through the City of Round Rock’s extensive park system! The parks host a surprising diversity of bird life, with approximately 250 species recorded. Watch for migrating warblers along Brushy Creek, scope out abundant waterfowl wintering at Old Settlers Park, search for sparrows at Rock Hollow Park and encounter your favorite backyard birds throughout Round Rock.
Walks will begin at 8 a.m. and last approximately 2 hours. They will take place at a single predetermined park, depending on the season and local distribution of birds. All parks have easily accessible parking and a combination of paved trails and smooth, gently sloping terrain. Restrooms are only present at some facilities. There are no park fees. Bring binoculars, water, supportive shoes and sun protection.
Walks are open to birders of any experience level and will be tailored to those in attendance. Registation is free but required, as there is a maximum of 15 participants.
This month’s walk will be led by Erik Sauder and Pam Hopper at Brushy Creek Trail, starting at the Rabb House. There will be a focus on birding by ear, as there is a single paved trail running along this riparian greenbelt. The area hosts many breeding birds and spring migrants, but they can often remain hidden.
More information will be sent to registrants prior to event date.
