Shorebird Walking Tour

Walk the shores of Goose Island with a knowledgeable volunteer. What species will you see this time?

Join volunteer Bob Showler on a walk along the shore in search of Goose Island's iconic shorebirds. You can expect to learn about and identify birds seen on the route. Bob has been volunteering with the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, and we're excited to add more birding opportunities for everyone!
