Swainson's Thrush Nicholas Dawson Park • April 2026 Birds of forest understory; can be found in nearly any wooded park during migration. This one was a tiny bit early! Black-throated Green Warbler Nicholas Dawson Park • March 2026 One of our most common migrant warblers, buzzy five-note song often the first clue to its presence. Vermilion Flycatcher Roy G. Guerrero Park • March 2026 The bright red males are often one of the first spring migrants through our area! Louisiana Waterthrush Austin • March 2026 One of our earliest migrant warblers, often found bobbing along quiet creeks and streams. Broad-winged Hawk Nicholas Dawson Park • March 2026 These hawks only recently started breeding in Central Texas, and a pair comes back to this park every year. Northern Parula North Austin • March 2026 One of our smallest warblers, these birds are common in east Texas parks especially with areas of Spanish moss. ‹ ›
