Wimberley Parks & Rec hosts Migratory Bird Seminar

Five speakers shared their knowledge of the avian world in the second annual Migratory Bird Seminar hosted by the Wimberley Parks and Recreation Department. Attendees learned that the Texas Hill Country is a rest stop for migrating birds such as the Blackedcapped Vireo and the endangered Golden- cheeked Warbler. Topics included migration, conservation, habitat management, insect pollinators and native pollinators.

“We hope to create a new tradition in Wimberley by presenting this seminar each year to engage birders, edu-cate new people and to ignite a passion for bird conservation among our local citizens,” said Rachel Littleton, Recreation Manager for WPARD.

The seminar ended with a tour of the Patsy Glen Refuge.
