Birds in the Park – October 2017

From Jason Bonilla with the Houston Audubon Society:

We had our October bird walk this morning with 22 species observed. It started off slow but the mulberry tree on the last stop was loaded with birds. Full list is below and spreadsheet for all years attached. Our next Woodland Park bird walk will be on Saturday, November 18, 2017.

Every month Jason Bonilla, from the Houston Audubon Society, leads a group through Woodland Park and records the species and number of the birds they observe. If you'd like to join us for our hikes through the park please visit our calendar to find the next date and time.
