Look for birds year-round in Texas!
Texas offers great bird-watching during spring and hummingbird migrations, summer nesting, and fall hawk watches. And don’t forget those winter resident birds!
Birding in Texas
Birding is an activity open to anyone, anytime, anywhere. We’ve compiled tons of resources on this great pastime. You can join a bird count, take driving tours, improve your backyard habitat, teach your kids about birds, and more.

Birding in state parks
Texas state parks provide habitat for birds (and other wildlife) and provide access to that habitat for humans. We lead birding classes and tours, have bird blinds, and offer miles of trails for spotting birds. Some parks loan binoculars.

Birding in wildlife management areas
TPWD manages lands to study wildlife and habitats. These are great places to look for birds in a more natural setting.
You’ll need a Limited Public Use Permit (LPU) to enter a WMA. Always call before visiting and bring your own drinking water.
