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?
