Borderland Research a Birding Bonanza, in Marfa, Tx.
The Borderlands Research Institute (BRI) is launching a new series of outreach activities connecting people with birds through its Bird Conservation Program. The Institute is part of Sul Ross State University. BRI kicked off birding field trips in late October to Alamito Creek Preserve. This is a Dixon Water Foundation property in Presidio County, south of Marfa. There were 40 slots available for a series of birding tours that will focus on riparian birds. The BRI website indicates another set of field trips Nov. 15th and 16th. Click here for more information.
Four groups of ten people participate in each birding trip tour. BRI is observing COVID protocols to ensure the safety of those participating. The tours will be led by experienced birders from the Borderlands Research Institute and partner organizations. The Borderlands Research Institute is limiting tours to 40 people. Organizers anticipate slots will fill quickly. Participants must register on their website. All birding levels, from beginners to experts enjoy these field trips.
