Join Shoal Creek Conservancy and Travis Audubon Society as we enjoy a fall birding walk at Beverly Sheffield Northwest District Park. We will explore the main portion of the park around the pool and pond, then move south toward Park Street and the open section of Shoal Creek at the end of the Park. We will look for year-round residents including Red-Shouldered and Cooper’s Hawks, varied woodpecker species, and the usual Hill country songbirds such as titmice, chickadees, and Northern Cardinals. Additionally, we will hope to enjoy fall residents.

Beginners as well as experienced birders are welcome. Not all portions of the planned route are easily accessible to those with mobility challenges, but the main portion of the park and playground area are. We can make adjustments in our route if necessary. Restrooms are available at the playground. Although the trip will be relatively short both in duration and walking distance please bring water or snacks, if you desire, and wear appropriate footwear. We will have a small supply of loaner binoculars if you do not have your own.

Keep track of the weather because you all know how quickly the weather can change in central Texas! This event will proceed in the event of very light rain or drizzle, but will be canceled for heavy rain or lightning. Please check your email before leaving home on the morning of the walk if there is any questionable weather.

We will meet a few minutes before 7:00am by the historical marker in front of the pool.
