You’re invited to our monthly Little Hike on second Fridays from 8:30-10 a.m. for birding for beginners in different parks, trails and sweet spots around Bastrop County in Central 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.
