Grow with Us-Wintering Sparrows of North Texas

Join Jake Poinsett from the Trinity River Audubon Center for one of his more popular presentations this time of year, “Wintering Sparrows of North Texas”. You didn't know? Yes, there are many different types of sparrows, and they are not all resident birds. Many travel thousands of miles to spend a warmer winter with us such as the dark eyed junco from Canada. These birds and many others are charming visitors to Texas bird feeders.

He will focus on some of the sparrows that are returning to our neighborhoods around Dallas, identification tips, habitat preferences, and how to make our backyard habitats more bird friendly.
