The Great Texas Birding Classic

One of the states that conserve and prevent the birds from getting extinct is Texas.

Texas tries to promote several festivals all year around about our feathered friend's conservation. The Great Texas Birding Classic, as known as GTBC is held every year between April and May. This festival has been around for the past 16 years and is always celebrated during the spring migration.

This festival hosts a tournament with teams trying to spot the most species of birds in a given time period. The team with the highest species count has the privilege of choosing the conservation projects of their choice that will receive money that is raised in the festival. The money raised will be used towards the bird's conservation. The conservation projects are submitted by organizations which care about these little creatures.

The festivals sponsored in Texas are great to show people that we need to do something about the birds decline in population. Each year the bird count shows that we have lost a lot of birds.

If you care about the birds and want to do something do help them from becoming extinct, check-out The Great Texas Birding Classic, which is located along the Texas Coastal Region.  For more information you can contact Carol Jones at 979-480-0999.
