The San Jacinto Battleground is home to more than 200 species of birds, and the best time to see them is first thing in the morning. Every first Saturday of the month, we open two hours early so birders and photographers can enjoy early morning at the site. The site is open to vehicles, but we ask that visitors be respectful of those enjoying the wildlife and keep noise to a minimum.

When: Every first Saturday of the month; 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

Where: The Monument side of the San Jacinto Battleground. Enter through the gates off Vista Rd. or Independence Parkway.

Ages: Nature lovers and photographers of all ages are welcome

Cost: Free

Note: Since this event takes place before the site opens, there are minimal facilities available. The only restrooms are located at the end of Park Road 1836.
