The USDA\u2019s Wildlife Services new assault on Migratory Birds at Brackenridge Park along with the City of San Antonio Parks turned violent in 2022! The USDA using a Depredation permit for lethal take (killing) from the Fish & Wildlife Service included Black Vultures and other species.<\/p>\n
I have observed Migratory Egrets and Herons for the last five years during breeding season in Brackenridge Park. The waterbirds migrate from the Gulf of Mexico coastline, Mexico, Central or South America and include three species listed on the State\u2019s Wildlife Action Plan or TCAP as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). One species, the Little Blue Heron is listed as a \u201cSpecies of High Concern\u201d by the US Fish and Wildlife Service since 2021. Texas Species of Greatest Conservation Need.<\/p>\n
