Organizer

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department — Brazos Bend State Park

A Sunday-afternoon program at the Brazos Bend State Park Nature Center about which birds should represent the nation and the state. Today most people agree on which bird best represents the United States, but it was not always clear which bird should symbolize the country, or even Texas. The program explores the history of what the founding fathers considered when they chose the birds that should represent the nation. It runs from 2 to 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 1, the same day as the park's 8 a.m. guided birding hike at 40 Acre Lake. No separate program fee is listed; the park charges a $7 per-person entrance fee for ages 13 and older.
