Hi all, Love Creek CBC - Dec 19, 2013 I thought this blustery eve would be the perfect time to announce a brand new CBC count in Bandera Co that will include TNC's Love Creek Preserve and TPWD's Lost Maples SNA. The Love Creek CBC, sponsored by The Nature Conservancy, will be co-compiled by me (Martin Hagne) and Rebecca Flack. The count as it's name applies will include the awesome Love Creek Preserve, normally closed to the public. It also includes the famous Lost Maples SNA, including it's newest acreage addition. It also includes at least 6 private ranches, with more to add in the future. We invite you to participate. We need advanced birders to lead sections, and of course those not as advanced to help inside sections. There is huge territory to cover so the more the better! We will pre-assign section leaders, and possibly helpers as well, but will also meet up that morning at 7am for assignments. Lunch in the field on your own, followed by a free count down dinner. The NW Bandera county location will feature some of the Texas Hill Countries finest birding habitats. High ridges, low canyon valleys, valley grasslands, and oak and mixed forest, many creeks and minor rivers, small lakes and stock ponds, should yield a nice variety of Hill Country birds. . If you want to sign up contact one of us via email: Martin Hagne martinhagne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Rebecca Flack rflack@xxxxxxx Thanks!
