GCSNA is located at an ecosystem intersection. Any time more than one ecosystem brushes against another, you'll find a great diversity of living things. Here, we find plants and animals representing the Texas Hill Country, South Texas Plains, and Blackland Prairie regions. This is reflected in our bird list, which currently includes sightings of 240 species. GCSNA really is for the birds! Learn what species you can expect to find here when you locate this cache.
