Texas Migration Madness for Solo Travelers

Thursday April 4th | *7-8:30am - Monday April 8th | 2pm (CST)

2024

Small Group Tour | Maximum Participant Size: 3

  • You consider yourself pretty bird-curious - from somewhat intermediately knowledgeable to amped about witnessing some of the best migration action in the United States. *Beginners are welcomed as well, but must be comfortable with a mix of high-paced birding and learning a lot :)

  • You can flex between spending time identifying birds and watching their behaviors, while also putting in the time and effort to find as many migrants as possible (*while we will put in some good time searching for the birds, areas that offer a large variety with patience and waiting will be mixed in, as well!).

  • Hope to learn something new, go somewhere new-to-you, and take in the whole experience with a tight knit group of people that are equally as nerdy about the birdies as you!
