A statewide guide to the Texas coast birding festival calendar — from the famous High Island fallouts at Galveston FeatherFest in April, where exhausted migrants drop from the sky after crossing the Gulf of Mexico, to the HummerBird Celebration in Rockport every September. This episode covers the full migration calendar: spring warbler waves, summer shorebird diversity, fall hummingbird concentrations, and winter crane season. For birders planning a Texas coast trip and wanting to know which festival to build it around.
