The Great Texas Birding Trail
(Backyard Naturalist)

Not many places in the United States can match the Texas Coast for outstanding birding opportunities. The Lone Star State initiated the development of birding routes, with maps and signs, to renowned spots as well as lesser-known locations, and many other states have now followed suit. This presentation visits famous hotspots like Santa Ana, Aransas, Laguna Atascosa, and Rockport/Fulton along with many of the hidden gems of the Gulf Coast.
