Get Migration Alerts
Know when the cranes arrive. Know when the hummingbirds peak. Know when the rare bird shows up at Connie Hagar before it’s all over your birding group chat.
What You’ll Actually Get
Not a weekly newsletter. Not a constant stream of content. Emails sent when something worth knowing is happening — that’s it.
Whooping Crane Arrival Alerts
We'll tell you when the first cranes land at Aransas each fall — and when the flock has built to peak viewing numbers.
Hummingbird Migration Updates
Heads up when hummingbird numbers are building in late August and September, so you can plan your Festival visit at the perfect time.
Local Event Calendar
Hummingbird Festival dates, LaMardiGras, Fulton Oysterfest, birding workshops, and other local events — before they sell out.
Rare Bird Alerts
When something extraordinary shows up — a vagrant, an out-of-range rarity — we'll let our community know fast.
Photography Tip Emails
Seasonal guides to shooting the birds of the Texas coast — timing, technique, location, and gear — from people who do it every week.
Insider Seasonal Tips
When the tide charts align, when the weather is perfect, when the fallout conditions look right — the kind of intel you can't Google.
Seasonal, Not Constant
We email when something is worth knowing. That means a handful of emails per year, not a weekly content machine.
Never Sold, Never Spammed
Your email stays with us and goes nowhere else. We don't do marketing lists. We do bird alerts.
Easy Unsubscribe
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. No dark patterns, no guilt trips. Just click and you're out.
From Our Community
“The crane arrival alert gave us three weeks to plan our trip. We showed up on the exact right tide day. Saw 40+ cranes from Beach Road.”

“I've been birding Rockport for 20 years and I still find things in these emails I didn't know. The local knowledge is the real deal.”

“When they said 'hummingbird numbers are peaking this week,' I rescheduled my flight. Best decision I ever made. Hundreds of birds at every feeder in town.”

It’s free. It’s seasonal. It’s written by someone who was out on Beach Road at 6:30am watching cranes this morning.
“The best birding intel comes from people who are outside, watching, every single morning. That’s us. And now it’ll be in your inbox.”
