EXPLORING NATURE: HORNSBY BEND

Don’t turn up your nose at sewage pond birding.

I’m here to tell you some wonderful birds can be found at one special sewage pond – the Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant southeast of Austin not far from the Colorado River.

It’s a big place, covering some 1,200 acres, and it includes several lagoons, open fields and about three miles of trails along the river bank.
