Birding is a larger part of our economy than many people realize. For the past six years, Dr. Peter English, lecturer at the University of Texas School of Biological Sciences, has sponsored a group of students and teaching assistants on a trip to Bolivar to learn about birding. This weekend they visited the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary, Horseshoe Lake Sanctuary, Johnson Woods, Boy Scout Woods, Smith Oaks and Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.
They were treated to the warm hospitality of Edith Watson (Coastal Concierge) and on Saturday night, they feasted on fresh shrimp and fresh blackberry cobbler. Some had never had fresh shrimp before.
Welcome to Bolivar, and please come again.
