Birds Flock In This One Texas City

According to Lawn Love, Houston has found itself in an airspace like other cities in the state: sitting upon a perch in the top five for best birdwatching in the nation. But how did the "Space City" itself get that position?

The four factors are as follows:

- Access
- Bird Variety
- Popularity
- Conservation

So with a combined ranking of 51st in access, 49th in bird variety, a staggering 4th in popularity, and finally 8th in conversation...drum roll please:

Houston sits at number three in the nation for birdwatchers everywhere! Honestly, I'm not sure how the city landed so high in the list, the data makes it seem like the city should be a little bit lower, but I was never really good at math honestly.

So it looks like a trip in Houston is in the cards for birdwatchers in the state!
