Come enjoy the Trinity and help investigate the birds that live along the Trinity or that visit here during their migration. Since 2011, the Trinity Bird Count has been a partnership between the Trinity Commons Foundation, Trinity River Corridor Project, Strategic Community Solutions, and Audubon Texas (Trinity River Audubon Center), to collect information about critical Texas bird species.

Gathering for the volunteers who manage Fort Worth's extensive bluebird trails.

Owls hooting, armadillos rustling in the underbrush, maybe a coyote howling…we never know what we might hear on a night hike on the trails through Central Park.

Registration is required by Friday, Feb. 17, at 11a.m. at bit.ly/CoLRegistration; search for activity code 800014.

Join our trail guides as they lead a twilight stroll down one of LLELA’s nature trails. We may hear some bumps in the night, but have no fear...it’s probably just an armadillo.

Registration required by 11a.m. the day before the night hike at bit.ly/CoLRegistration; search for activity code 800000.
