Texas Bird Bingo has landed in Victoria! 🦉🐦‍⬛🦅

How to Play:
Pick up a Victoria Bird Bingo card from the Discover Victoria, Texas Information Center at 101 N. Main Street, Suite 101, or visit https://www.discovervictoriatexas.com/p/explore/texas-bird-bingo for more details and a downloadable card.

Once you have your bingo card, you'll see that the front of the card features 24 birds you’re likely to spot in Victoria. All of the Texas Bird Bingo cards align with the Great Texas Wildlife Trails.

Riverside Park is a great location to see birds! Get started on your adventure at the Athey Nature Sanctuary Birding Deck. Grab your binoculars, head over to Riverside Park, and start birding!

When you see any bird pictured on your card, mark it with an X, a √, or whatever symbol you like. Once you've marked off a row of birds in any of three directions (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), you’ve got a bird bingo!

Prizes:
While viewing birds is its own reward, every person who completes a bingo can also get a FREE Texas Bird Bingo sticker. Send a photo of your completed Texas Bird Bingo card to the email address noted on the card, along with your name and mailing address, and we’ll send you a sticker (limit one per person). As an added bonus, two lucky winners will receive a half-day Hill Country birding excursion, courtesy of our friends at Busy Birding!

Mumphord's Place BBQ a local favorite 🍗🍲🍖
There is a large menu here featuring barbecue staples that have been rated as some of the best in the country. It's a place where you start smelling good food as you approach the building and you feel a familiar comfort walking through the front doors.

It all started in the days when local owner Ricky Mumphord spent a lot of time barbecuing at family reunions. It’s been a family tradition going back as far as he can remember; family gatherings always involved great barbecue.

Ricky suggests the turkey breast as his must-get food and it’s no surprise as it’s an amazingly cooked piece of meat.
