If you’ve never seen thousands of birds at one time, all coming in to roost - and rest - for the night, then attending a purple martin viewing party is a “must see” experience! Each Friday and Saturday evening, for four consecutive weekends, people gather at the Round Rock Crossing Shopping Center to witness this spectacular phenomenon associated with the birds’ migration. The last two Purple Martin Viewing Parties this year take place this weekend, on August 8 & 9.

The viewing parties are FREE, family-friendly events. It is highly recommended that attendees bring lawn chairs, water, hats, cameras, and binoculars. For full details, including information about where to park and where to gather, please visit the Travis Audubon event page.
