Registration remains open until April 1 for those wishing to join more than 1,000 birders who will flock to the coast, forests, prairies and mountains of Texas to compete in the nation’s biggest, longest and wildest bird watching tournament.
The 28th annual Great Texas Birding Classic runs from April 15-May 15. This statewide tournament invites participants to document the different species of birds migrating through Texas during the spring.
“Since the Classic started a lot has changed,” says Shelly Plante, nature tourism manager for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. “The competition has expanded statewide to record participation and is no longer just for experts since the new categories appeal to budding naturalists and avid birders alike.”
