We have received over 8,500 birds since the year 2001. We rescue wild birds, rehabilitate them, and then release them back into the wild.

Great Backyard Bird Count

It is time for the Great Backyard Bird Count, http://www.birdscource.org/gbbc/ , February 18 - 21. This is really a great outdoor activity for families. It could also be incorporated into science activities for home schools or public schools.

You can take part for as little as 15 minutes and you don't have to be an expert on birds to take part in this event. This is a count that allows you to indicate you were not able to identify all the birds you see, and it is perfectly OK to do so.

For those of you who prefer to see what it is all about by taking part in a group activity, the Rolling Plains Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists will be hosting a count on Sunday, February 20th, at 7:30a.m. behind Wild Bird Rescue, 4611 Lake Shore Dr. Remember, the wind will be blowing off the lake so it can be chilly. Dress in layers and be comfortable.
