Commons Ford Prairie PRO, a non-profit organization, is holding a Big Day in the Park 2013, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday, April 7 at Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park, located just west of Austin, to continue to raise funds for the ongoing native prairie restoration project in the park. Activities include several birding (and plant) walks led by Byron Stone, Ed Fair, Diane Sherrill, Lorie Foss and Shelia Hargis (although their walk is full) and others. Tax-free pledges can also be made to the Wing Ding where we count all species seen and heard in the park on the Big Day. For details, to register for a walk or pledge to the Wing Ding visit www.tinyurl.com/BigDay2013. All activities are free and no need to register unless you are interested in a specific walk. Otherwise, come spend a beautiful day with us in the park, visit the many booths and vendors, and help us count birds.
