Howdy All!
Spring migrants and summer residents showing up here at the park. The Blackjack
Nature Trail and the Lakeshore Trial by the beaver pond and by the Big Pine
Camping Loop have been the most productive spots so far.
This Saturday, May 6th, we are holding our Big Sit for the Great Texas Birding
Classic at site #38 in our Lakeview camping loop. Come on by and do a little
birding with us.
Join us tomorrow for a bird tour around the park's hotspots. Meet at the park
headquarters at 8:15am.
