Because of the coronavirus pandemic my ability to go birding has been hindered. I decided to write about some of my favorite birding adventures in a series called the Quarantine Chronicles. This post is about my first trip primarily for birding, which was in South Texas in December of 2018. South Texas, more specifically the Rio Grande Valley, is one of the best birding areas in North America. It has a unique mixture of Gulf Coast and Central American birds. Many of these birds can’t be found anywhere else in North America.

On our third day in Texas we went to the town of Salineño. The bird feeder at the Salineño Wildlife Preserve provided the best photography opportunities of the trip. Later in the day we birded Falcon Lake State Park.

One of my favorite locations we visited during our trip was Estero Llano Grande State Park. We spent almost the whole day birding at this location.
Texas birding can’t be beaten!
