What we’re about

This is the official Meetup page of the Save Barton Creek Association (SBCA). We protect the creeks and aquifer of the Barton Springs- Edwards Aquifer through conservation, education, and advocacy.

You can learn more about SBCA on our website at www.savebartoncreek.org. You can further connect by signing up for our monthly e-newsletter and liking us on facebook.

We will meet once or twice a month for hikes along the Greenbelt, volunteer opportunities, and educational outings. We also host SBCA Happy Hours the second week of each month. These Happy Hours feature a speaker related to our mission.

We also hope you will join SBCA by contributing to dialogue on our discussion boards.

We look forward to meeting you, whether you're new to Austin or are a life-long Barton Creek enthusiast.

Sat, May 11, 2024, 8:00 AM CDTSpring Migration Bird Walk at Lake Creek Trail
Lake Creek Trail, Austin, TX
Come on out for a guided bird watching experience with one of the most experienced guides around. Mikael Behrens has been leading bird watching trips for many years for multiple environmental non-profits. He teaches a Birding By Ear course for Travis Audubon Society and is an avid wildlife photographer as well. We will be hiking a total of possibly 2 miles with multiple stops. This is Mikael's neighborhood trail, so he knows every spot that might be harboring birds.

Spring migration will be happening, so you are likely to see and/or hear multiple migrating birds and summer residents. Please bring a pair of binoculars. Add a comment below, if you need to borrow a pair of binoculars and I or someone else might have an extra pair to use. Feel free to ask about recommendations about possible resources like field guides/apps.

Important note: There are no bathrooms on site, so please plan accordingly.

We will be meeting at the Lake Creek Trail Trailhead that's at the trail's west end, which is at the end of Braes Valley St. found here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yRwddHScEShNUJqi6

This will require you to park in a neighborhood, so please be respectful of driveway clearance etc of the neighbors.
