Event Summary: Can the 3 Bird Species of Greatest Conservation Need hold on with encroaching development?
Event Description: As habitat along the I-35 corridor continues to shrink by the day, can overwintering sparrows and resident and migrant Loggerhead Shrikes hold on? For the past three years, the Texas Nature Trackers program has been examining three Species of Greatest Conservation Need, the LeConte’s and Grasshopper Sparrows, and the Loggerhead Shrike. During this presentation you’ll be provided with a glimpse of the challenges faced by these birds as well as a look into their lives in our ever-changing landscape.
