Panhandle Region
The Panhandle Region card features birds common to, well, the Panhandle region of Texas. This region includes birds such as the Burrowing Owl, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Western Meadowlark and Sandhill Crane.
This card is cosponsored by Big Spring, Texas.
Big Spring sits in a rocky gorge between two high foothills of the Caprock escarpment in West Texas with exceptional birding opportunities. The northern limit of the Edwards Plateau and the southernmost hills of the Caprock converge in Big Spring. It derives its name from the nearby “big spring” in Sulpher Draw, which was a watering place for herds of buffalo and other wildlife.
