Cemetery Bird Walk- City of Austin & Travis Audubon

This trip will be co-led by Jennifer Bristol, author of Parking Lot Birding; Travis Audubon Master Birder Mary Ann Robalino; and Caitlen Hill, the Cemetery Programs Manager with Austin Parks and Recreation Department. Paved roads throughout the cemetery make this cemetery accessible for those with mobility challenges. https://travisaudubon.org/?event=cemetery-birding-austin-memorial-park-cemetery-2
