January 2020 Birding Tour
Stay tuned… We're planning a winter trip to the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. Details to come.
Let's Go Birding to Texas for the
Spring Migration!
APRIL 25 – MAY 3, 2020 • Waiting List only
Let’s Go Birding has partnered with High Lonesome birdtours in order to bring this spring 2020 tour to the Los Gatos Birdwatcher community. This tour includes two leaders and the trip fills with 8 participants! The upper Texas coast provides an unrivaled birding spectacle in the spring as millions of migrants stream north on their way to their breeding grounds. We’ll find southern species already setting up territories and the inland forests will be filled with song. The coast can be alive with exhausted passerines arriving after crossing the gulf, and it is not uncommon to record more than 30 different species of just the shorebirds. Famous migrant traps like High Island, Sabine Woods, and LaFitte’s Cove concentrate vireos, thrushes, tanagers, grosbeaks, and of course the jewels of Neotropical migrants, the warblers. This trip coincides with the peak of spring migration and will take advantage of the best time of year to witness this miracle of nature. We will also look for the endangered The Golden-cheeked Warbler whose population nests entirely in the juniper-oak woodlands of central Texas.
