“Interpreting Bird Language” with Lee Burton
 ☀️ The morning will start with a “Bird Sit” outside on the beautiful Shield Ranch property, followed by an indoor talk and light potluck snacks!

🦅 Join us for the morning to learn what #bird #language is, why it’s so important, and how you can use it every time you step outside to know what not only birds, but other #animals are up to even if you never see them. You’ll discover what to pay attention to related to bird behavior, how to #interpret that information, and how to do a bird sit in your own yard or local greenway. You’ll leave with the skills to know when there’s a disturbance on the landscape, whether that be a nearby hawk, other ground predators like #wild canines and felines, or even an approaching human.

🎙️Our presenter, Lee Burton, is a Master Naturalist and Bird Language Leaders educator who studied under Jon Young, author of What the Robin Knows. He teaches bird language and wildlife tracks and sign to both graduate and undergraduate students at the U of Florida and Texas A&M. Through NaturalistStudies.com, he offers courses in these subjects along with wilderness survival, foraging and other naturalist skills to conservation professionals, and the general public.

Texas’ rivers, lakes and swimming holes offer a welcome escape from the summer heat, but fecal bacteria too often puts people’s health at risk. According to a new Environment Texas Research and Policy Center report, the water at 53% of monitored locations had potentially unsafe levels of fecal contamination on at least one-quarter of the days on which testing took place in Texas.

Common sources of fecal indicator bacteria such as E. coli in waterways include sewage spills and overflows, stormwater runoff, and failing septic systems. Each year, Americans suffer an estimated 87 million cases of illness associated with swimming, paddling, boating or fishing in U.S. waterways.

Communities across Texas can dramatically reduce sewage overflows and other sources of fecal bacteria, but fixing aging wastewater infrastructure requires substantial investment. Texas 2036 estimates that the state will need $21.1 billion over the next 50 years to repair and upgrade wastewater infrastructure.

Thanks to Brian Zabcik of Save Texas Streams, fishing guide Captain Alvin Dedeaux and Katie Gay of Evergreen Austin for joining us alongside Lady Bird Lake this week to release the report.

You’re all being scammed.

I live 3 minutes away from the proposed data center site in Brownsville, Texas. We KNOW data centers kill communities. We KNOW data centers pollute the communities surrounding them. We KNOW they raise the cost of water and electricity. WE DONT WANT THEM HERE. Are you perfectly FINE with shooting yourself in the foot? Are you that foolish?

We CAN’T let them poison our home. It’s time to get up off the ground.
