2. Bald Eagle nesting site is a mere eight miles east of Llano on Highway 29. Eagles can be seen repairing their nest, bringing food to their eaglets and coaching their babies to leave the nest mid-December through early May.

3. Wild flowers bloom throughout the Hill Country from mid-February through late summer and sometimes into fall. The highways are an ocean of colors that change daily. Blues fade into yellow, then into reds and purples. Late spring into summer brings an array of spectacular colors as cactus and sage take over the flowering stage.
