Texas Birder Camper -

If You See This Camper, There’s a Birder Inside (And Maybe Snacks)

Texas Birder is hitting the road.

Soon, I’ll again be out on the backroads and birding trails of Texas, not just chasing birds but spreading the word about Texas Birder—a growing online hub built just for folks like you who brake for hawks and rearrange weekend plans for warblers.

The Texas Birder website is packed with helpful resources for birders of all levels: from ID guides and gear reviews to birding events, photo galleries, and even the occasional bird-themed joke (because yes, we believe birding should be fun and educational). And the best part? We’re adding new content and contributors almost daily, so there’s always something fresh to flap about.

So come join the flock.

Whether you’re a seasoned birder or still calling every bird a “blue jay,” there’s a perch for you at TexasBirder.com and a cap or T-shirt at https://iamatexasbirder.com .

About The Author

Michael Mathews

I’m a proud East Texas native who once took the scenic route all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific—just to realize the Piney Woods was where I really belonged – near where I hear rumors of home.

Since planting my boots firmly back in East Texas in 2014, I’ve put my biology background to work first as a Texas Master Naturalist, then for three years I served as as the Trip Director for Tyler Audubon. I run several Facebook birding groups, several nature related websites, teach Nature Photography Workshops, lead Birding Field Trips, and, on any given day, you’ll likely find me wandering through the woods, camera in hand.

As an author, photographer, and lifelong naturalist, I believe in spreading the word about birds, wildlife and wild places so we can all appreciate—and protect—the world outside our windows. It’s all part of the adventure, right?
