The next Wild Neighbors webinar couldn’t be more timely, coming right in the midst of the spring bird migration season. In “Behind the Music: Rare Birds of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve,” Travis County Natural Resources biologists Dave Morgan and Nancy Sandoval will offer a “behind-the-scenes look at the golden-cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo, two of the animals the BCP was created to protect. They’ll show you a day-in-the-life of a field biologist on the preserve, and all the work that goes into making the BCP a good home for these rare birds.” The presentation will be followed by a Q&A. Friday, May 14, noon-1 p.m. Register here.
