FROM: Chris Tribble, Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Proposed Bird Watching Project
________________________________________________________________
Action Requested:SPDC and Parks & Recreation Board review, discussion and
direction on any next steps related to this proposed project.
Background
Information: This proposed project was brought forward to the City by Mr.
Chris Sanders. Mr. Sanders is a Southlake resident and an avid
bird and wildlife photographer. He and other supporters met with
Directors Tribble and Cortez, and presented his idea on how “the
City of Southlake can leverage its existing green spaces and
begin marketing itself as the first city sponsored wildlife and
birding destination in the DFW area”. (Please see attached
proposal from Mr. Sanders for reference).
As with any park project, Director Tribble steered Mr. Sanders to
the Parks & Recreation Board as being the first step in the City’s
process for considering a project.
A discussion item was added to the April 2022 Parks &
Recreation Board meeting, to allow Mr. Sanders to present his
project idea to the Board. During the meeting Director Tribble
presented how this proposed project connects to several of the
recommendations within the Bob Jones Nature Center &
Preserve Master Plan that was adopted June 21, 2011. (Please
see attached presentation for reference). The Board supported
the idea and asked for more information particularly related to
initiating habitat improvements, such as a bird/wildlife
observation blind, water features, wildlife feeding stations, etc.
A second discussion was held at the Board’s June 2022 meeting
where additional information and Mr. Sanders’ proposed concept
for a bird/wildlife observation blind was presented and discussed
(Please see attached presentation for reference). During that

dollars on their avocation.* Figures for total wildlife observation
nearly doubles this figure.
•In 2016, there were 45 million birdwatchers (birders), 16 years of age and older, in
the United States – about 18 percent of the population.
•In 2016, approximately 48 percent of all the dollars spent for wildlife related
recreation was due to bird watching.
•Food and lodging accounted for $6.1 billion (52 percent of all trip-related
expenditures).

Backyard birding or watching birds
around the home is the most common
form of bird-watching. Eighty-seven
percent (39 million) of birders are
backyard birders. The more active
form of birding, taking trips away
from home, is 36 percent (16.3 million)
of birders partaking.

Southlake fit into

demographic &
economic puzzle?
Item 4A-7Item 4A-9
Southlake is conveniently located along
the eastern edge of the Central Flyway
migration path. More specifically, we sit
in the heart of what is known as the
Cross-Timbers Region which borders
the Mississippi Flyway.
Migrating and native birds take
advantage of the copious food and
water resources our region has to offer.

Item 4A-11Item 4A-13
How can the City of Southlake benefit Socially, economically,
and ecologically from its geographic location?
Item 4A-12Item 4A-14
With modest improvements made to BJNC, the City of Southlake can leverage its existing
green spaces and begin marketing itself as the first city sponsored wildlife and birding
destination in the DFW area.
Item 4A-13Item 4A-15
What are the steps?
Initiate habitat improvements to BJNC which include:
¥Add water features and wildlife feeding stations
¥Construct wildlife observation blinds
¥Establish controls to preserve and maintain existing habitat
(e.g., enforcing restrictions on activities detrimental to the preserves habitat, such as: Dog Walkers and horseback riders entering and disrupting the preserve.
Step 1: Attracting the Birds & the Birders
Item 4A-14Item 4A-16
Moving water is a critical component to attracting birds
Item 4A-15Item 4A-17
Currently, BJNC has no reliable fresh water sources adequate to
support the wildlife it hosts.
Water Feature Recommendations:
•Install “Bird Friendly”water features to the visitor center.
•Install a water feature at each wildlife blind location that
would be characteristic for our area*.
Food Source Recommendation:
•Add native food sources (fruit and seed bearing plants)
that the wildlife depend on.
*Wildlife Photographers place high value and priority on locations that offer a natural appearance.

Item 4A-22Item 4A-24
Step Two
Initiate a marketing campaign to attract Birders to Southlake
Marketing strategy suggestions:
•Present a public exhibit of the wildlife images captured in Southlake
as a marketing “Kick-off”to generate the initial interest, awareness,
and support from our community.
•Use existing and future photos taken in Southlake for marketing
BJNC.
•Gorilla marketing on social Media.
•Host birding events and festivals.
•Leverage and market our most famous Spring and Summer resident,
the Painted Bunting, as the City of Southlake’s wildlife mascot.
Item 4A-23Item 4A-25
Step Three
Explore establishing a native species Botanical Garden by leveraging
the city owned property located between Carillon Lake and Highland
Ave.
Advantages of Southlake establishing its own Botanical
Garden:
•Ideal as an additional tourism destination.
•Located minutes away from Southlake restaurants and
hotels.
•Opportunity to partner with Carroll ISD to create an
outdoor education venue.
•Close proximity to Carillon Parc
•A low impact design using native plant species can allow
the land parcel to maintain much of its natural state while
also providing an educational green space.
