Commons Ford Bird Walk

Joint Travis Audubon and Bexar Audubon field trip on Wednesday, October 4 at 8 a.m. at Commons Ford Ranch Park, one of the best birding locations in Central Texas. With more than 274 bird species having been identified at the park, you’re sure to see a variety of feathered friends. The park is located at 614 N. Commons Ford Rd. in Austin. Sign up here.

The park contains diverse habitats, including riparian, oak/juniper woodland, and a restored forty-acre prairie. We’ll be looking for year-round residents and migrants, so bring your binoculars and get ready to bird! Learn more about the prairie restoration project at Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park here.
