On a quiet stretch of Highway 290 in Carmine, Texas, the Texas Country Reporter crew meets Frank Burt, a former bricklayer who adopted a lifelong craft of building birdhouses. He wants to "do right by the birds," restoring their homes after mass construction moved them out. His story blends small-town charm, personal loss, and a deep respect for wildlife… revealing how one man’s work can create both community and habitat.
