Baytown is Springing Forward with FUN!

Spring into Birding!

March through May is the best time of year to check birds off of your birding bucket list in Baytown. The spring migration is in full swing and Baytown's Nature Center and various parks are bursting with opportunities to see nesting birds, feeding birds, flying birds and more. Whether bird watching or nature photography is your preferred method of outdoor birding fun, the Baytown Tourism Team can help turn your birding excursions into prize filled fun with the 2020 Baytown Birding Challenge.
