"Texas Parks and Wildlife. This map will make a trip to one of the nation's top birding spots easier to plan and execute. Both a road map and travel guide, the map is marked with icons designating birding and wildlife watching spots from south of Kingsville (Riviera) and Falfurrias to the Rio Grande. The map features 88 sites and follows the Rio Grande River west to the outskirts of Laredo. The lower coast map is just one of the three maps that comprise the entire Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail which winds through 43 Texas counties, from the Louisiana Border to the Rio Grande River. Each section of the Trail (upper, central, and lower coast, heart of Texas east and west, Panhandle Plains and the upcoming Prairies and Pineywoods) has a map showing 12-16 separate loops. The color-coded loops encompass an array of associated sites and birds and provide easy access to related information. Each site on the Trail is marked with a unique sign and site number designed to coincide with the site description on the map. The Trail maps have information about the birds and habitats likely to be found at each site, the best season to visit, and contacts for obtaining food and lodging available in the vicinity. The icons are coded to indicate if there is an entry fee or camping sites available. Beautifully illustrated, text includes directions, best birding season, and what to see.
