This guided walk is an excellent opportunity for birders at all levels of experience to learn about the Black-capped Vireo. It is one of two bird species that the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect. Participants will have the opportunity to see the habitat that is being managed for these beautiful birds, and possibly get to see the vireos enjoying trees at the ideal height for nesting. Complete details and the link to registration are found here. Spaces are limited so early registration is advised.
