Tips for Birding

There is a north-bound and a south-bound rest area so one may stop going either direction to use the nice restroom facilities and stretch one's legs by walking and birding a bit. 

The habitat is good for finding South Texas specialty birds since pockets of South Texas thorn scrub were left throughout the rest area. 

Depending on which way the sun is, one may bird from either the east or the west side of the habitat.
