Brownsville is another good town for looking for parrots and parakeets and there are several really good birding sites nearby including Sabal Palm, Resaca de la Palma and, of course, Brownsville Landfill Site

All the sites in this section are treated, in detail and with precise maps and directions, in my book ‘Finding Birds in South Texas’

If you have any information which you feel would help to update the book, please email me at dave@easybirder.co.uk and I’ll add your observations to these pages
