I've updated the Mockingbird Nature Park Project from a traditional project (where you the observer or someone else has to manually enter your observations) to the new collection project format (where all your observations from the park are automatically added).

Because of the change you can no longer manually add an observation to the project and the little project icon will no longer appear on your observations. But the project will show up in your project list (drop-down menu under your profile picture).

Check out the new look, it has a lot more information readily available than the old format. https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/mockingbird-nature-park

Our last Wildflower walk of the year will be on Saturday, September 17. We'll begin at 9am at the Butterfly Garden at Mockingbird Nature Park, 1361 Onward Road (off Mockingbird), Midlothian, TX .

Please join us on this 1/2 mile stroll along the trail as we identify the wildflowers in bloom. Everyone is invited and there is no charge. Hope to see you there!

In the event of rain, the walk will be canceled.

Looking at the radar this morning, we've decided to cancel the wildflower walk at Mockingbird Nature Park for today.

Members of the Indian Trail Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist Program will be leading a Wildflower Walk on Saturday, August 20, 2016
At Mockingbird Nature Park
1361 Onward Road (off Mockingbird Lane), Midlothian TX

Our walk starts at 9:00 am at the Butterfly Garden. Yes, it's hot, but there is always something blooming, and birds, butterflies, and other insects to see, too. Bring your camera!

Please join us on this ½ mile stroll along the trails as we identify the wildflowers. Everyone is invited to attend, and there is no charge.

It will be HOT, so be sure to bring drinking water and it's always a good idea to wear a hat and close-toed shoes along the trails.

Walk will be canceled in the event of rain (ha ha, rain in August!)

We're excited to announce our first MOTH NIGHT at Mockingbird Nature Park which will be on Wednesday, July 27 8:30pm to 11:00pm

Join the Indian Trail Master Naturalists and TPWD biologist as we document moths and nocturnal insects at Mockingbird Nature Park in Midlothian.

It will be hot, so come prepared. Bring drinking water, and since it will be dark, a flashlight is recommended and wear close-toed shoes. Insect repellent is recommended to fend off those pesky mosquitoes! We will be staying on the trails for this nighttime event. Bring a camera if you would like to take photos of the moths and other night time insects we'll see.

This event is FREE and open to the public. We meet at the parking lot. Please join us! Mockingbird Nature Park is located just north of Mockingbird Lane, at 1361 Onward Rd, Midlothian, TX 76065

We've got two events at Mockingbird Nature Park coming up in July and hope that you'll join us for both!

First, our July Wildflower Walk on Saturday, July 16, at 9am. Indian Trail member Don Happ will lead the walk. Join us on this 1/2 mile stroll along the trail as he identifies and talks about the wildflowers you see. It will be hot, so come prepared. Bring drinking water and insect repellent is always a good idea, as is a hat and sunscreen. We have flyers available with species lists of plants found in the park, birds and animals and also one on insects. These walks are always fun and informative so I hope you'll join us!
