You’re invited to our monthly LITTLE HIKE on the second Friday of each month from 8:30-10 a.m. Birders, Bastrop County Audubon Society and Bird City Bastrop meet in different parks, trails and sweet spots around Bastrop County in Texas. What is a LITTLE HIKE? It’s a gentle morning birdwatching hike with a focus on photography. The participants see how many birds can be documented and added to eBird while hiking. It’s great for beginners because more experienced folks will be around to offer guidance.

The Hike moves around the County to various parks and private sites.
