Event Summary:
As habitat along the I-35 corridor continues to shrink by the day, can overwintering sparrows and resident and migrant Loggerhead Shrikes hold on?

Event Description:
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.
