Texas Water Safari, Loggerhead Shrikes & Woodpeckers

Texas Water Safari
The Texas Water Safari is the World’s Toughest Canoe Race, and 2015 was no exception.  Historic flooding threatened to cancel the race, logjams made the San Marcos River extremely dangerous, but the race went on! We follow two teams to see if they can complete the 260 mile race from San Marcos to Seadrift.

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.

Postcard From Texas
Baby woodpeckers are very demanding and noisy when they’re hungry.
