This is a good place for seeing Brown Boobies from San Jacinto Point. The center is also a good place for seeing and hearing rails as well as a variety of sparrows in the winter and Marsh and Sedge Wrens.

Groove-billed Ani have been seen in the Center. Clapper, Virginia and Sora Rails are regulars. Wood Stork, Brown Booby, both Night-herons. Bald Eagle, Seaside Sparrow, Nelson's Sparrow Painted Bunting. During migration many warblers may be seen. 

This whole area flooded during Hurricane Carla due to land subsidence after the subdivision was developed and houses built. This is now a park owned and operated by the City of Baytown. The Entry Office restrooms are available to visitors as well as some portable toilets scattered around.
