🚨 RARE BIRD ALERT 🚨 The gray-collared becard just had its FIRST EVER SIGHTING in Texas at Resaca de la Palma State Park! This species's first US sighting was in 2009; the second was just six months ago, in May of 2023! 📸: Brandon Nooner
@evanasmith I won’t be the voice of reason since I still have all of my cassettes and CDs. I just recently gave up my old VHS treasures. The nostalgia is deep.
Full report: vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/handle/10919/1…
Excited to share the culmination of some great work in partnership with Virginia Tech. We surveyed 4000+ wildlife viewers to learn how they support conservation, how they like to be communicated with, and so much more! Learn more in the full report: x.com/DayerLab/statu…
New report from US national and regional study of wildlife viewers now available! 4000 viewers responded, reporting on their viewing & conservation behaviors, past & future financial contributions to state fish & wildlife agencies, perceptions of agencies & more. 🧵

Happy Fall, y’all!
The world's biggest, wildest #Birding tournament begins in October, just in time for the fall migration. All experience levels welcome! This is a perfect chance to enjoy some #BackyardBirding for a good cause: bit.ly/BirdingClassic… #GTBC20 #Texas #BirdingAtHome
Newest Texas Paddling Trail launches on the Sabine River in #etx, famous for its winter sand bass: bit.ly/SabineRiverTra…. Paddlers may also spot a river otter, beaver, or deer. #BetterOutside 📷Michael Banks
Winners of our Great Texas #Birding Classic chose these 10 conservation projects to award grant funds: bit.ly/BirdingClassic… Since contest began, team registration + sponsorship have funded $993k in habitat projects.
@txtravelseeker @tourismchat Agreed! Feel free to give me a shout any time. #tourismchat
@tourismchat @txtravelseeker @TPWDnews This has been great! Thanks so much for having me. Learned a lot! #tourismchat
@tourismchat Example on education: explain why it's not helpful to the species/animals people love so much and give alternatives: mnn.com/earth-matters/… #tourismchat
@tourismchat A-BQ: Help explain the “why” behind leave no trace and other park rules. That can help bridge the gap in many situations. Interpretive signage – eye-catching and helpful, relevant information - can help, too. #tourismchat
@tourismchat @visitestonia @Ruukel Birdfair is one of the largest, most well-known birding festivals in the world. A group of DMOs from South Texas have been going here with a booth for years to reach international travelers. #tourismchat @SouthTxNature
@tourismchat A4: Apps such as iNaturalist and eBird are facilitating people learning more about where they are, what they are seeing, and sharing that information. BioBlitzes help put that opportunity to share wildlife viewing experiences and learn while you do it! #tourismchat
@tourismchat In other words, don't treat technology as the enemy but determine how best to integrate it into nature in meaningful ways. #tourismchat
@tourismchat A4: Self-guided tours with apps and, less frequently, QR codes to interpret a nature site for visitors can be successful. Recently saw this put to use at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin and loved it! #tourismchat
@trailgirl A3: There are some hard numbers: Research from S.TX showed that direct spending from nature-tourists (birders) in the Rio Grande Valley totalled over $307M in 2011. Statewide stats from other surveys show $13.8 billion impact in Texas from wildlife viewing in 2011 #tourismchat
@tourismchat A3: Luckily there is research on the economic value of wildlife recreation: U.S. Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation has stats by state or nationally. #tourismchat
