This reserve has the most extensive tropical palm forest in the US and views over a really attractive resaca and the Rio Grande itself.






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
