Birds in the Park – February & March 2018

Every month Jason Bonilla, from the Houston Audubon Society, leads a group through Woodland Park and records the species and number of the birds they observe. If you'd like to join us for our hikes through the park please visit our calendar to find the next date and time.

From Jason Bonilla:

Last Saturday we had our March survey. Here is the list. I have included the February list below it since I did not send out an email on it. Our next Woodland Park survey will be on Sunday, April 22nd at 7:30am.
