Birding & Wildlife Viewing

The Walnut Grove National Recreational Trail and Bob Jones Park are listed on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Prairie and Pineywoods Trail, Colleyville Loop. Check out the trail and loops.

In 2009 the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve was voted the best place to view Cross Timbers wildlife, including almost 300 species of resident and migratory birds. Turkey and deer are seen on a regular basis. Tracks of opossums, raccoons, coyote and bobcat are regularly seen along the trails. Butterflies and dragonflies flutter among the numerous wildflowers on the Preserve, the Corps land, and Bob Jones Park. Texas spiny lizards bask around the Nature Center facility.
