Chasing a Ghost
In 2005 news of the extinct Ivory Billed Woodpecker being found in the woods of Arkansas electrified the birding community. Now a team is searching for the elusive Ivory Billed here in Texas. We followed the Texas team for six months as they explore the bird's historic range, The Big Thicket National Preserve in East Texas. From using state of the art technology to good ole foot power, see what it takes to try and find a bird that hasn't been seen in 60 years.

Texas Our Heritage-HD.mp4
Texas Elementary School Uses Augmented Reality App to Create a Permanent Digital Learning Experience.
Budget cuts have resulted in fewer student field trips being funded. To combat this shortfall Heritage Elementary School in Highland Village, Texas, asked the Elm Fork Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists to create a permanent digital doorway to nature for its students utilizing a free downloadable, augmented reality app called Aurasma Lite.
With an investment of less than $50 the Master Naturalists created an 80ft interactive wall display that brings an engaging field trip-like experience to the children using smartphones and tablets. Adjacent to the displays, Heritage Elementary School also has a teaching garden representing the 10 ecological zones of Texas enhancing the link between the natural world and the digital world.
All the teaching assets created -- currently over 500 trigger images and videos -- are available in module format for free to anyone teaching about nature via the dedicated 'Texas Our Heritage' channels hosted on Aurasma.
The 'Texas Our Heritage' project demonstrates how teachers can embrace mobile learning devices to effectively engage students and enhance learning cost effectively. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR) that aims at replacing the perception of the world with an artificial one, Augmented Reality (AR) enhances a student's perception of their surrounding world. In the case of Heritage Elementary School, they turned affordable illustrated tourism maps about nature -- nine in all available from the Texas Parks and Wildlife at a cost of $25 -- into a series of exciting learning experiences.
Aurasma's cutting-edge image recognition technology allows smart devices to see, recognize and understand real-life images and objects in much the same way as the human brain does. With respect to the classroom teachers can seamlessly augment a scene -- textbook, poster, photo or even physical object -- with virtual content such as videos, animations and 3D objects called auras. No barcodes, visual tags or special glasses are required for Aurasma to work.
In the case of Heritage Elementary the students were given a mobile device -- iPhone or iPad2 -- to explore the wall displays. Typically each map featured 40-50 artist renditions of nature such as native plants, birds, animals or butterflies that via Aurasma was linked to a 30-60 second video that transported the children from the classroom directly to the coastline, plains, desert or mountains of Texas. The rich media content was sourced by the Master Naturalists for free from publicly available sites on the Internet such as Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Principal Toby M. Maxson comments: We recognize that classroom learning is not the same as an immersion in nature, but incorporating Aurasma has helped to make teaching the curriculum a richer experience for the students. They love the experience because they are actively involved in their own learning. We have noticed that AR facilitates interactions, appeals to kinesthetic learners, and offers engaging content for 21st Century learners.
This project received the first place exemplary project award from the Texas Master Naturalist Conference October 28th, 2012

PBS Show Nesting Shrikes, Beautiful Butterflies & Outdoor Families, #2612
Program 2612. Air dates December 31, 2017-January 6, 2018 & July 1-7, 2018
Nesting Shrikes, Beautiful Butterflies & Outdoor Families
Settled In at Old Settlers
The Loggerhead Shrike is a songbird with a raptor’s habits. They skewer their meals on barbed wire or thorns for easy eating. Some Shrikes have also found a nice nesting place in a busy Round Rock, Texas park.
San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site
On April 21, 1836, Texas won its independence when an outnumbered Texan Army defeated Mexican forces on the plains of San Jacinto. The Monument built in remembrance of the battle stands on the flat Texas wetlands along the Houston ship channel. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the history of Texas – a soaring monument to commemorate a small battle with huge consequences.
Betting on Butterflies
Some fragile flying insects bring beauty and business to Texas each year. Are we being good hosts?
Parks & Wildlife People: Texas Outdoor Family Team
Texas Outdoor Family was created to help those with very little experience in the outdoors or in state parks, to find the joys of the outdoors with no experience necessary.
Postcard From Texas
Stephen Ramirez is a San Marcos based photographer who, during his travels and work with the Texas Land Conservancy, focuses on landscape photography of natural areas in the state.
San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site Monument
San Jacinto Historical Site is the location where Texas won the Battle of San Jacinto, securing its independence from Mexico. The battle was over quickly and the battlefield does not offer much to see. The monument, movie and a museum on Texas history are worth checking out. The music in the video is Prelude in C by Bach and was composed by Kevin MacLeod.
