Texas Spring Migration & Hill Country

• Migration spectacle
• Seek out critically endangered Black-capped Vireo and Golden-cheeked Warblers

Tour Overview

The upper Texas coast is a birding paradise this time of year as tens of thousands of migrating birds pass through this region. We will spend a few days birding High Island, Bolivar Flats, Galveston Island and Anahuac NWR for neotropical songbirds, shorebirds, egrets, terns and many, many more!

Afterwards we’ll head out to the beautiful Edwards Plateau where not only will the wildflowers be at peak, but the critically endangered Black-capped Vireo and Golden-cheeked Warblers will be singing on territory in the juniper clad hills. In addition to this pair, the birding opportunities are full of great birds here, and the Edwards Plateau is an amazing spot where eastern and western North American birds co-mingle.

There is little overlap with the winter Texas tour and a list total of well over 200 species to be expected! In addition to the birds, we will visit a bat tour where millions of Mexican Free-tailed Bats emerge from an old mine; it is truly a spectacle to witness!
