Air dates December 31, 2017-January 6, 2018 & July 1-7, 2018 Nesting Shrikes, Beautiful Butterflies & Outdoor Families Settled In at Old Settlers The Loggerhead Shrike is a songbird with a raptor’s habits. They skewer their meals on barbed wire or thorns for easy eating. Some Shrikes have also found a nice nesting place in a busy Round Rock, Texas park. San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site On April 21, 1836, Texas won its independence when an outnumbered Texan Army defeated Mexican forces on the plains of San Jacinto. The Monument built in remembrance of the battle stands on the flat Texas wetlands along the Houston ship channel. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the history of Texas – a soaring monument to commemorate a small battle with huge consequences. Betting on Butterflies Some fragile flying insects bring beauty and business to Texas each year. Are we being good hosts? Parks & Wildlife People: Texas Outdoor Family Team Texas Outdoor Family was created to help those with very little experience in the outdoors or in state parks, to find the joys of the outdoors "with no experience necessary".
