Bird observations for the LCNP

Since 1998 people have been recording their bird observations at The Lorraine Cherry Nature Preserve on Ebird.org. The nature preserve is a nationally recognized bird “hot spot” and was added to the Buffalo Bayou Loop of the Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Upper Texas Coast - Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail in 2018.

The best times to observe migratory birds at LCNP is in the spring (March and April) and in the fall (October).

A bird bar chart is a listing of every bird species and the months of the year each bird species has been observed in the nature preserve.

A field checklist is a complete list of every bird (by species) that has been observed in TLCNP over the years. Print this form out for your visit into the nature preserve. What bird will you see?
