Dave:

You picked a great time to be in Texas. I'll be happy to help you with your planning. I'm familiar with most of the good birding locations in the state.

Please feel free to Private Message me with target species (if this is your first visit, I'm sure that everything will be a target, of course), whether you'll be interested in going for the Hill Country species (further west, near San Antonio), and any other special considerations.

The migrant traps on the Upper Texas Coast and the Valley are two areas well worth focusing on. Please let me know what resources you've already consulted as well.

Hi Dave.

You are going to love it!!! When in the Rio Grande Valley, I can thouroughly recommend staying at the Alamo Inn and Suites. It is run for birders by birders, and has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. They will be able to direct you to all the best local sites and keep you informed of all the letest sightings. I can give you contact details if you want to get in touch privately.
