⚽🐦 Which bird has the best footwork in Texas? The Roadrunner - no debate.

The Greater Roadrunner can sprint up to 26 mph and change direction in an instant. It even kills rattlesnakes with its feet. Your favorite midfielder wishes they had this footwork. Native to Texas and more entertaining than a nil-nil draw.

The World Cup brought the world to Texas. The birds were already here…

Meet Texas's original long-distance traveler. The Blackpoll Warbler weighs less than a AA battery but flies nonstop from the Atlantic coast to South America up to 88 hours without landing. World Cup teams flew business class. This warbler did it on pure willpower.

🐦⚽Which bird dives at 200+ mph - faster than any penalty kick?

The Peregrine Falcon! Found across Texas during migration, this bird makes Messi look slow. Top recorded speed: 242 mph in a stoop. The fastest soccer kick ever clocked? Only 131 mph. Bird wins.

The World Cup brought the world to Texas. The birds were already here.

The Yellow‑bellied Sapsucker is tapping out a reminder!

💡Night-time lights confuse migrating birds and can lead to exhaustion, collisions, and death.
🌑You can help! By turning off non‑essential lights from 11 PM–6 AM at work and home, you can help keep their path safe.

Two Canadian grad students road tripping across Canada are not only seeing new birds and exploring new landscapes on their first cross-country road trip, they’re also breaking new ground in the study of bird migration.

When you think of the Texas coast, you often think of white birds... gulls, terns, and sandpipers. But during spring migration, our coast sees an influx of a species that looks a little out of place... the Black Tern!

Our coastal team snapped these photos while observing hundreds of Black Terns on Matagorda Island. These unique terns will soon continue their journey north to their breeding grounds in the interior of the continent.

Have you spotted any Black Terns recently?

Did you know? While many migratory birds cross the Gulf of Mexico on their spring migration journeys, Mourning Warblers tend to take the overland path through Mexico and Texas. Your best chance at encountering one is to search near the ground in the forest understory—keep an eye out for the male's black throat patch that gave the bird its name, appearing as if it's dressed in 'mourning'.

Sadly, this species is particularly vulnerable to artificial lights at night and window collisions. This spring, help them migrate safely by turning lights out at night from 11 PM-6 AM.
