Great Texas Birding Classic, 2
Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife
[ticking clock] Hear that? That’s time running out to register your team in the thirteenth annual great Texas Birding Classic. Shelly Plante.
The Birding lasts for an entire week. And we have events for all ages and all different kind of groups of people.
Plante oversees nature tourism for Texas Parks and Wildlife. If you don’t mind paying a late fee, you may register your team up until the day of the tournament, which is April 24. The event is open to birders of all skills and abilities.
With birding, everyone is equal. If you’re blind or visually impaired you can do birding by ear. And we actually have a tournament category for that in the birding classic—the Outta Sight Song Birder Tournament. We have ADA accessible trails throughout the Texas coast, so, anyone with mobility impairments can get out there and bird. It really is an equal opportunity activity.
It’s easy to register your team in this tournament.
To find out about registration for this year’s event, go to birdingclassic.org online.
Registration deadline is March 22. The event is April 24 through May 2, and concludes with an awards ceremony.
Winning teams decide which proposed avian habitat conservation projects receive funding this year.
For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
