Target 100 Challenge

A 'Big Day' - or weekend or year....is a birding challenge of strategy and luck to maximize the number of species observed. It requires knowing the best hot spots to find the most species of birds and the logistics to maximize the days’ efforts. Of course, we can help ! Busy-Birding's Target 100 Challenge is offered year-round. Choose your dates and let's go!

• UVALDE offers a unique habitat where the Brush Country meets the Hill Country meets the Trans-Pecos. Curved Bill Thrashers, Verdin, Cactus Wren and other desert species not found in the Hill Country. Add Great Kiskadees, Audubon’s Oriole and Green Jays and you know it’s going to be a great day!

• TEXAS HILL COUNTRY offers Golden Cheeked Warblers, Black Capped Vireos, Green Kingfishers and all their exciting cohorts.
