Join the Longleaf Master Naturalists for the Great Texas Birding Classic birding tournament

Did you know that bird watching could be competitive? Join our local Master Naturalist team at Martin Dies, Jr. State Park to spot different birds for the 2021 Great Texas Birding Classic. It’s described as “the world’s biggest, longest and wildest bird watching tournament”, but is a friendly competition to see how many birds can be identified. If you’ve never tried bird watching this is a great introduction, and you can start your very own bird life list.

To join in the fun, all you have to do is show up at the Walnut Ridge boat ramp, behind the dining hall. 

When: Saturday, May 1, 8:30 am -noon and 1 pm - sunset.

Where: The Walnut Ridge boat ramp, behind the dining hall.
