Birding Trails

Where do you start? Let’s begin with a simple premise – there is never a bad day to bird along the Coastal Bend. Therefore where you start should be based on where you are coming from (in other words, there are birds to see wherever you choose to stop first). 

Don't be left out of the loop!

For many birders, to stay at one location and bird within short distances is sublime (and an excellent way to get to know the local birds well). For others, the goal is to see as many species as possible during the trip. The birding sites along the Coastal Bend have been organized into loops, each representing a specific type of habitat and suite of birds that frequent that type of landscape. Therefore it will be necessary to travel to each of the loops in order to see the widest variety of bird species.

The blog has the latest information about what is being seen and where. So whether you are interested in a relaxing weekend on the beach or interested in only the most common birds, or if you are chasing that once-in-a-lifer, there is no better place to indulge your birding fancy than in America's Birdiest City.
