Event: Free San Antonio Bird Walk – Pleasanton Trailhead 11/21/32

I’m leading a free bird walk for Bexar Audubon this Saturday at 8AM at the Pleasanton Trailhead.

This bird walk will start at Pleasanton Trailhead and go along the edge of Mitchell Lake and will give birders a chance to see forest birds, field birds, and water birds. Participation is open to all and no experience is required.
