Birding in Seguin
Seguin is located in a diverse ecological area, bounded on the north by Blackland Prairie, and the Post Oak Savannah to the south and east. Most of the surrounding land is in agricultural use, primarily cattle grazing, providing a varied environment for birds. The Guadalupe River runs through the city. Large pecan and cypress trees line the river, including Max Starcke Park, at 227 acres, the City’s largest park. The walking trail in on the east side along the confluence of Walnut Branch, offers the best public birding for woodpeckers, warblers, bluebirds, and more. The completion of the Walnut Branch Linear Park will offer more riparian trails in the coming years. 

Some species that are common around Seguin may be of special interest to birders from other regions. Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are common during the breeding season. Look for them on fences and telephone wires in the countryside around Seguin. Crested Caracaras are also common in the surrounding open lands. Flocks of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks can often be seen open lawn areas in town, in Central Park or flying overhead at dusk. Green kingfishers are regular inhabitants of Walnut Branch.
 
Other local birding areas are open by appointment. The Seguin Outdoor Learning Center, 1865 East Hwy. 90, is a 115-acre non-profit educational facility with a nature trail on Geronimo Creek. Call 830-379-7652 prior to visiting. Warbler Woods in nearby Cibolo is a recognized a Gulf Coast Bird Observatory Site Partner, known for its diversity of spring migrants.
