Jim.
I would go to Texas in April, starting with Sabine Woods near Port Arthur -
check the photos on their website! Continuing down the coast to High Island
- especially the rookery at Smith Oaks with herons, spoonbills, cormorants
and - alligators! Take at least half a day to bird Anahuac NWR.
From there to the Bolivar Peninsula with stops at Rollover Pass and Bolivar
Flats and on to the ferry to Galveston. From there you can stop at several
wildlife refuges and the Kings Ranch. I like to stop at the Laguna Atascosa
NWR on the way to SPI - South Padre Island. At SPI I find the birding at
the Convention Center and Sheepshead Road just as good as at High Island..
After that on to the Rio Grande Valley, Santa Ana NWR, Bentsen State Park
etc. Time permitting you could also go up to the Edwards Plateau, but it is
a long drive.
I have done some or all of this in four different years and would love to
go again in 2026! If anybody would be interested in going, please contact
me at my below email! Thanks!
Good Birding!
Hans
