Grab your binoculars and join us for a birding hike with Travis County Natural Resources Biologist Paul Fushille. We'll explore the Nootsie and Vireo Ridge tracts of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve (BCP). Whether you're new to birding or a seasoned pro, join us! We'll have extra binoculars for anyone who needs them.

The BCP is one of the nation’s largest urban preserves, covering more than 33,000 acres – about 50 square miles. It is made up of more than 140 individual tracts managed by both public and private partners. The BCP was created in 1996 and continues to protect habitat for seven endangered species and other species of concern found on the preserve. Learn more about the preserve here.

This leisurely bird walk will encompass scenic views and we'll see Black-capped Vireo and endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler habitat. This is a great chance to see and learn more about the bird species we protect and manage for on the BCP. Be prepared to walk roughly 2.5 miles, and we recommend wearing comfortable closed-toed shoes or boots and bringing water.
