    LONE STAR STATE Stargazing IndependenceTitle.com Keep Your Eyes to the Sky! These are some of the best places to stargaze in Texas Big Bend National Park Big Bend National Park is not only Texas’s most famous park— it is also known as one of the most outstanding places in North America for star gazing. Thanks to the sparse human occupation of this region, it has the least light pollution of any other National Park unit in the lower 48 states. This can be a real surprise to visitors when they are outside in Big Bend at night and see the Milky Way in its full glory for perhaps the first time in their life. Needless to say, you can stargaze just about anywhere in Big Bend, but there are a few spots you might want to consider. If you’re an admirer of astronomy, bring your telescope to the Marathon Sky Park. You can also see the stars from the stargazing platform atop Eve’s Garden Bed and Breakfast in Marathon. Brazos Bend State Park Located an hour outside of Houston, Brazos Bend State Park is a great place for any astronomical enthusiast. Not only is it far removed from the light pollution of the Lone Star State’s biggest city, it’s home to the George Observatory, where visitors can view planetary objects up close and personal. LONE STAR STATE Caprock Canyons State Park Home to the only wild bison herd in the state of Texas, Caprock Canyon State Park in the Texas panhandle has stunning views of constellations.

  • The Spoonbill, September 2020
    The Spoonbill A Publication of the Ornithology Group Of the Houston Outdoor Nature Club September 2020 Welcome to the beginning of our Fall activities! Although Bayland Community Center has reopened, in an abundance of caution, we will once again use the Zoom online platform for our Sept 14 meeting. A Zoom account is not required if you are only joining Zoom Meetings as a participant. You can participate using a computer, tablet, or cell phone. Join Zoom Meeting: https://utexas.zoom.us/j/93965127303 Meeting ID: 93965127303 The Zoom lobby will open at 6:45pm for check-in, and the meeting will begin at 7:00pm. The program, “The Pandemic Birding Boom: Opportunities in the Time of Covid-19," will be given by Megan Ahlgren, Harris County Naturalist at Kleb Woods/John Paul Landing The pandemic brought a surge of interest in birds and nature as people spent more time at home and in their local parks. Birding has proven to be a great social distancing activity (see photo), although restrictions have caused many of us to change how and where we bird. But between spending more time with your local area birds and an ever-growing number of virtual offerings, there are still plenty of opportunities to grow as a birder during this time. September Trivia Q: What is the most common wild bird in the world? (Answer is at the very end) 2020 Membership If you have not yet renewed your 2020 membership, please do so.

The Southwest Strategy Coordination Office worked with state and federal fire management officials to plan a working meeting that would incorporate the best practices from government fire officials, regional execu- tives, tribal members, and outside organizations. The team prepared the Fire Risk Reduc- tion and Recovery Workshop for March 7 & 8, 2001 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

  • BIRDS of the TRANS-PECOS a Field Checklist
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE BIRDS of the TRANS-PECOS a field checklist Black-throated Sparrow by Kelly B. Bryan Birds of the Trans-Pecos: a field checklist the chihuahuan desert Traditionally thought of as a treeless desert wasteland, a land of nothing more than cacti, tumbleweeds, jackrabbits and rattlesnakes – West Texas is far from it. The Chihuahuan Desert region of the state, better known as the Trans-Pecos of Texas (Fig. 1), is arguably the most diverse region in Texas. A variety of habitats ranging from, but not limited to, sanddunes, desert-scrub, arid canyons, oak-juniper woodlands, lush riparian woodlands, plateau grasslands, cienegas (desert springs), pinyon-juniper woodlands, pine-oak woodlands and montane evergreen forests contribute to a diverse and complex avifauna. As much as any other factor, elevation influences and dictates habitat and thus, bird occurrence. Elevations range from the highest point in Texas at 8,749 ft. (Guadalupe Peak) to under 1,000 ft. (below Del Rio). Amazingly, 106 peaks in the region are over 7,000 ft. in elevation; 20 are over 8,000 ft. high. These montane islands contain some of the most unique components of Texas’ avifauna. As a rule, human population in the region is relatively low and habitat quality remains good to excellent; habitat types that have been altered the most in modern times include riparian corridors and cienegas. Figure 1: Coverage area is indicated by the shaded area. This checklist covers all of the area west of the Pecos River and a corridor to the east of the Pecos River that contains areas of Chihuahuan Desert habitat types.

When not writing about gardening and the outdoors, Kelly can be found growing vegetables, volunteering for conservation organizations, hiking and canoeing the Southeast, and traveling to national parks. Copyright 2013 National Park Foundation. 1110 Vermont Ave NW, Suite 200, Washington DC 20005 www.nationalparks.org NATIONALPARKS.ORG | 2 Everybody loves Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon, and with good reason. Those and other icons of the National Park System are undeniably spectacular, and to experience their wonders is well worth braving the crowds they inevitably draw. But lest you think the big names are the whole story, consider that the vast park network also boasts plenty of less well-known destinations that are beautiful, historic, or culturally significant—or all of the above. Some of these gems are off the beaten track, others are slowly rising to prominence, and a few are simply overshadowed by bigger, better-publicized parks. But these national parks, monuments, historic places, and recreation areas are overlooked by many, and that’s a mistake you won’t want to make. nobodthe places y knows For every Yosemite, there’s a lesser-known park where the scenery shines and surprises.
