BLC Bird Walks

We'd love to see you for a birding walk along BLC's Spring Creek Nature Trail. Bird walks/surveys are held every Monday and the first Saturday of each month, led by Texas Master Naturalist, Spring Creek Greenway Ambassador and BLC Trail Steward JoJo Bradbury

The walk meanders along the Spring Creek Nature trail, a natural surface trail around ponds and tranquil wetlands, through trees and natural grassy areas, therefore you should wear hiking shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, as there may be muddy areas along the trail and a sandy/rocky stream crossing that we may cross depending on the amount of water at the time. The varied habitat at Creekside Park provides food and shelter for many songbirds, raptors and shore birds, and we see approximately 50 different species during the walks. Bring your binoculars, insect repellent, and water.
