Bird is the Word! By Sebastian Casarez

We are half way to reaching The Texas Blue Jay Project Pledge of 1,000 new birders! Thank you to all who have supported the cause.

I have exciting news! The Texas Blue Jay Project has caught the attention of KXAN Studio 512 Entertainment Reporter Joe Barlow. Mr. Barlow wanted to know more about The Texas Blue Jay Project and wanted to know how to birdwatch. I had such a fun time! I hope you all enjoy the interview video that aired in September:
