Beginner or Expert, Your Texas Birding Experience Matters—Write for Texas Birder

Texas is big. Really big. Big skies, big backyards, big wetlands, big migration days… and an even bigger supply of bird stories just waiting to be told.

That’s where you come in.

Texas Birder is actively looking for more bloggers who love birding in Texas and want to share their experiences, knowledge, photos, observations, or even the occasional “you won’t believe what I just saw” moment. If it involves birds, birding, nature, conservation, photography, gear, trips, or learning the ropes, it probably belongs here.

Why Write for Texas Birder?

Because your words won’t just drift into the internet void like a lost feather. They’ll land in front of birders all across Texas. From Pineywoods to Panhandle, Coast to Hill Country, Rio Grande Valley to West Texas desert skies, Texas Birder reaches birders in every corner of the state.

That means:

• Your writing gets exposure to thousands of Texas birders
• Your name becomes familiar within the Texas birding community
• Your photos and stories help inspire others to get outside
• You contribute to a growing, Texas-focused birding resource
• You get bragging rights without having to puff your chest like a grackle

Not bad for something you already love doing.

What Can You Write About?

Short answer: almost anything bird-related and Texas-flavored.

A few ideas to get your binoculars focused:

• Birding hotspots in your local area
• Favorite Texas birds and why you love them
• Migration stories and seasonal sightings
• Beginner tips for new Texas birders
• Bird photography tips and field techniques
• Gear reviews and field-tested advice
• Conservation issues in Texas
• Funny, strange, or unforgettable birding moments
• Day trips, road trips, or “I went out for milk and found 42 species” stories

If it helps someone learn, laugh, or look up, it fits.

You Don’t Have to Be an Expert

Let’s clear this up right now. You do not need to be a professional ornithologist, a tour guide, or someone who can identify a flyover silhouette at 600 yards in bad light while eating a granola bar.

Whether you’re an experienced blogger with a keyboard worn smooth, a seasoned Texas birder who can tell a kite from a kestrel at a glance, or a beginner still learning which end of the binoculars to look through, you’re welcome here. Expertise comes in many forms, and fresh perspectives are just as valuable as deep field knowledge. Some readers want advanced tips, others want reassurance that it’s okay to ask questions and learn as you go. If you enjoy birds and have something to share, Texas Birder has room for your voice.

If you love birds, enjoy being outdoors, and can string a few sentences together, you qualify.

Some of the best birding stories come from:

• Beginners who remember what it felt like to be confused
• Backyard birders who notice the little things
• Travelers who stumble into unexpected magic
• Lifelong birders who still get surprised

All voices welcome. Texas birds don’t discriminate and neither do we.
