Program 2904, Air Dates November 1-7, 2020 & May 2-8, 2021 Birds and Birders Coastal Birds and Birders The sounds of the waves, a breeze in your face, and the peeps of a scurrying shorebird, you are birding at the beach and you didn’t even know it. We visit a couple prime birding hot spots along the coast and we’ll let you know where they are. West Texas Wetlands In the driest region of Texas, meet some ingenious landowners who created their own desert oasis’. From Presidio to Balmorhea, new man-made wetlands are attracting not only birds but some excited birders. And if you head to one particular oasis, you’ll see one of the rarest hummingbirds found in the United States. A Man in Paradise The Rio Grande Valley is a haven for birds and birders alike. For Father Tom Pincelli, this area is an earthly paradise. Follow along as Father Tom finds beauty and inspiration in some unusual birding spots. Postcard From Texas See some coastal birds at Bolivar Flats, and at raucous rookery at Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary.
