Think you know the best places in South Texas to bird? Maybe so. But Ben Horstmann, Texas Parks & Wildlife Regional Interpretive Specialist for South Tex- as State Parks, will add some great places to your list. His presentation will be a wonderful preview to the events at the Choke Canyon Birding Festival on Feb. 9. After Ben’s talk, you will definitely want to explore the places he recommends.

Ben’s addiction to birding was a direct result of moving to the coastal bend and birding with the park staff and volunteers at the parks. His favorite pastime is obviously birding in the parks and natural places of Texas.
