One of the most popular birding destinations for locals and visitors.

Blucher Nature Park is a small wooded park along a small stream. Walking trails are fairly low difficulty but since the park is lower than the surrounding streets there is a bit of a slope to get down to the "park" level, especially from Carrizo Street. 

It is best known for spring migration, in which both Trans-Gulf and circum-gulf migrants are present, but it is worthwhile year-round.

Numbers of birds in spring are best following any northerly front. 

The park may be accessed from either S. Tancahua Street (pronounced like the Indian name Tank-a-wa) or Carrizo Street. The parking is street parking.

In spring, a large variety of songbirds; vireos, warblers, tanagers, orioles, etc. can be found.

Great Kiskadee and Long-billed Thrasher are common year-round.

Chuck-will's-widows are found in good numbers in spring, usually joined by a few Eastern Whip-poor-wills.

Both Northern and Louisiana Waterthrushes may be seen along the stream.

Tropical Kingbirds and Clay-colored Thrushes has been found in recent years. Couch's Kingbird is usually present.

Blucher Park is quite small, but birding is excellent when conditions are favorable.

The Corpus Christi Central Library is at the north end of the park and restrooms are available during their open hours which are very limited

The Audubon Outdoor Club of Corpus Christi leads free birding trips here each Saturday and Sunday (except Easter Sunday) during the month of April, beginning at 7:30 AM.

Located in downtown Corpus Christi, Blucher Park, an urban jewel attracting both birds and birders from far and near, was deeded to the City of Corpus Christi in 1942 by the Blucher family as a nature park.

In 1990, the Audubon Outdoor Club secured a grant from Conoco Oil and began a rehabilitation project which began with the planting of native perennial shrubs and trees. Emilie Payne, a local environmental advocate, spearheaded this effort by digging up 373 native plants destined for destruction by local construction projects and transplanting them at Blucher Park.  

Blucher Park is an internationally renowned birding site. A ‘migrant trap,’ birds flying to their breeding grounds in the spring or wintering grounds in the fall, find welcome respite on these lush grounds. 

Dedicated AOC volunteers (“The Blucher Bunch”) meet most Monday’s at 4 pm to tend to the grounds. Volunteers are most welcome!

Walking trails extend throughout the wooded sections. Grassy areas are easy walking.
