The Birdhouse Sabinal, Texas After several years of careful planning,
The Birdhouse is finally open! "The first day at The Birdhouse opened quietly at dawn. With operation hours from dawn to dusk on the second and third weekends of the month year round, you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings. For a group of 5 or more, special weekday appointments are available upon request. The site is located on 302 acres of ranch property of which 35 acres are developed into walking trails through brushy pasturage overlooking scenic river bottom. Care has been taken to protect the natural habitat and protect the balance of nature while at the same time allowing the public to enjoy nature at it's finest. Sited the first day were the Bewicks wren, black crested titmouse, cactus wren, common ground dove, golden fronted woodpecker, house finch, lark sparrow, long billed thrasher, mockingbird, northern cardinal, northern harrier, orange crowned warbler, pyrrheloxia, and white crowned sparrow. In addition to the birds, deer, a fox, javalena, and roadrunner were startled to see humans in their habitat.". Call Karen at 830-988-2215. |
