Get a peek at warbler world
Friday, February 25, 2022 by Tai Moses
Those who follow the Wild Neighbors Speaker Series have met many of the iconic creatures who call Central Texas home: armadillos, crazy ants, hummingbirds, bats and coyotes, among others. The next installation of the popular online series will introduce us to a rare bird whose reputation precedes it: the golden-cheeked warbler. Balcones Canyonlands Preserve biologist Jonny Scalise, a tract manager for the preserve, surveys the warbler every spring when the birds are nesting in Central Texas and knows pretty much everything there is to know about the brilliantly colored songbird. Among other things, Scalise will reveal “what they eat, where they go when they’re not here, how big their eggs are, and much more.” Friday, March 4, noon-1 p.m. Sign up here to receive the Zoom link.
