Calling all bird lovers – beginners and seasoned birders alike!

Are you ready for an easygoing, fun-filled morning of birdwatching at one of Texas’ best wildlife management areas? Whether you’re an experienced birder or just curious about what’s flapping around in your backyard, this is the perfect trip for you!

What to Expect:

Minimal walking! This is a caravan-style trip, so we’ll be driving and stopping at key birding spots.

A morning full of birding adventure! Bring your binoculars (or borrow some) and enjoy the diverse bird species in this beautiful habitat. This is duck season – we will likely see hundreds of ducks – MANY different species.

Easy to find! Look for the large entranceway marked Richland Creek WMA and keep going about 100 yards to the check-in station. I’ll be there in a white F150!

Important Notes:

A Limited Public Use Permit is required ($12) – You can grab one at any location that sells hunting/fishing licenses or order it online: Get Your Permit Here (Choose “Limited Public Use Permit” and print it out.)

No facilities available – Plan accordingly! Bring water, insect repellent, and anything else you might need for about 3 hours of birding fun.

New birders are especially welcome! This is a great opportunity to learn in a relaxed, friendly setting. No pressure—just good times, great company, and plenty of amazing birds to spot.

See you there!
