Bird Walk at E.R. and Ann Taylor Park

Join Zoe Gapayao from the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, along with Houston Audubon and Nature Heritage Society for a guided bird walk at E.R. & Ann Taylor Park! This park is a 26-acre forest oasis in southern Houston. Standing at the entrance to the park, at 1850 Reed Road, one has a clear view of the skylines of downtown and the Texas Medical Center. The bustling environment of Almeda Road begins at the next intersection. But inside the gates, a tranquil world of birdcalls, grapevines and ancient oak trees awaits. A 1.08-mile nature trail takes hikers through the woods. Scattered within the forest are bird watching blinds, designed so that viewers can observe wildlife without scaring it off, boardwalks to keep visitors out of the occasional puddle, and an elegant, 2-story tall viewing stand looking out on the wilderness pond ecosystem and the surrounding forest.

Please wear comfortable closed-toed shoes, weather appropriate gear, and bug spray. Bring your reusable water bottle.

We will meet at the pavilion.
