  • Timing and strategy

A fantastic migrant trap, Brison Park is a great place to get migrating warblers, thrushes, orioles, and tanagers in the spring.  It is a very small park and not very interesting other times of the year.  You can park along the few spaces on the west side of the park, and walk the rest. There are no real trails that take you through the bird rich areas, but there is a sidewalk around the perimeter of the park.  

Give recommendations for making your visit as productive as possible.
This may include for instance:
• best season
• best time of the day
• how much time to spend at the site
• best means of locomotion within the site
• recommended routes / areas within the site
• guiding

Watch for poison ivy and possibly snakes.  There is a small creek that runs through the middle of the park, so be prepared to either use the one crossing to get to the other side or jump across.  It can get noisy when students are present, or when A&M is playing football (Brison Park is right across from Kyle Field).
