🔥🐦 BIG NEWS, FELLOW BIRDERS! 🐦🔥
The 2026 Texas Mid‑Coast Birding Festival has officially wrapped, and the final species count is IN…
🌟 🎉 2️⃣0️⃣6️⃣ species!!! 🎉 🌟
That’s one more than last year’s 205 — meaning we’ve set ANOTHER NEW RECORD for the festival!
From sunrise marsh walks to coastal hotspots bursting with migration energy, YOU helped make this our biggest, boldest, birdiest year yet. Every checklist, every sighting, every excited “Did you see that?!” pushed us over the top.
💛 Huge thanks to our guides, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and every birder who showed up with binoculars, curiosity, and joy. This community keeps soaring. And let's not forget all of the property owners who gave us EXCLUSIVE access to the best birding locations in our side of town.
