 Thanks to Whole Earth for making April Texas State Parks Month at their stores!
So Many Birds, So Little Time
 Hundreds of thousands of birds journey through Texas in spring, and state parks look like 4-star hotels to them. Plan an April visit to see and hear these short-term visitors – many parks have water features and food to attract them, bird blinds and special events. For a sample, watch our short video Birds of Guadalupe River State Park.
The biggest and best birding competition in the U.S. begins April 15, The Great Texas Birding Classic. Hurry – you can still register through April 1. Some state parks are taking part, including S Llano River and Martin Dies Jr.
Add another layer of fun to your birding by playing Texas Bird Bingo. It's free, and one lucky player will win a birding trip with an Audubon master birder.
A message from our non-profit partner, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation:
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area
To honor the centennial of Texas State Parks, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation raised almost $2 million in private funds to enhance the visitor experience – thanks to park lovers like you. Funds are already flowing to our parks to start new projects.
Major support for the campaign came from our Centennial Champions, including the Fondren Foundation, The John M. O’Quinn Foundation, The Elkins Foundation, The J.W. Couch Foundation, and The James A. “Buddy” Davidson Charitable Foundation.
“There were so many wonderful moments to cherish from the centennial celebration of our parks,” said Texas State Parks Director Rodney Franklin. “The generous support of park lovers who funded these impactful projects will be felt by families for decades to come.”
