Master birders 2019 on Lake Creek Trail

Written By Virginia Rose


12 soon-to-be-certified Master birders braved the cold and mist this morning and managed to wrangle 27 species out of Lake Creek Trail in Austin. Cedar waxwings continue to be prolific along with chipping sparrows, and yellow-rumped warblers. Best bird, ringed gull. We very much enjoyed the beautiful blooming cherry trees!

Virginia fell off a horse at the age of 14 which resulted in a spinal cord injury. A wheelchair user ever since, she began birding 17 years ago and discovered her best self in nature. She has led bird outings for Travis Audubon for seven years, and leads the accessible outings for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival each year.

As a retired high school English teacher, she is passionate about bringing the same joy of birding and nature to others who have mobility or other accessibility challenges. Her infectious positive attitude is the force behind Birdability.
