East Texas Birding

Welcome to East Texas Birding – A Treasure Trove for Nature Enthusiasts (And Bird Nerds)

Oh, you’ve found us. Lucky you and very lucky us. East Texas Birding is here to cater to your obsession with nature, especially the winged wonders of East Texas. Whether you’re a hardcore birder (or the more “classic” birdwatcher) or just someone who stumbled in looking for a way to pass the time, we’ve got the goods.

Our standout feature? A budding East Texas Bird ID Guide—a masterpiece in progress. It’s basic now, sure, but we’re constantly adding to it. Who needs perfection anyway? You can learn a lot, have fun, and maybe even make some birding friends or join local groups if you’re feeling particularly social.

Birding Trips: Because Watching Birds Alone is Sad

We’ll drag you out of your house for East Texas Birding Birding Trips. These are sprinkled throughout the year, covering the local popular hotspots like Mineola Nature Reserve, Old Sabine Bottoms WMA, Richland Creek WMA, and others you’ve probably already Googled—like the High Island area during spring migration, Anahuac NWR, Hagerman NWR, and wherever else we decide to go. Yes, even beyond East Texas. Shocking, we know.

Photographers, Rejoice (or Don’t)

Let’s face it, most birders are closet photographers. If you’re tired of your blurry shots of cardinals, our Nature Photography Workshops might be for you. From basic camera tutorials to advanced bird photography (think “Birds in Flight”), we’ll teach you how to get that one perfect shot. Small classes and private sessions available—because nothing says “focused learning” like avoiding other people.

Stay in the Loop (If You Feel Like It)

Our East Texas Birding Event Calendar is the hub for everything East Texas Birding. Field trips? Check. Group meetings? Yep. Workshops? Of course. Other nature-related events? Sure, why not.

Blogs, Because Everyone’s an Expert

Dive into the East Texas Birding Blogs, where we ramble about birding, nature, field trips, and even life-saving tips like what to do with baby birds. You’ll also find posts on gear, bird seed (fascinating, right?), and photography advice—because we know we all can learn things to take better photos. 

There’s a whole section dedicated to bird/nature photography for those who dream of upgrading from “meh” snapshots to stunning visuals.

So, welcome. Browse around. Learn something. Or don’t. The birds won’t judge you, and neither will we. Probably.
