Nearly 500 species of birds, including neotropical migratory birds, shorebirds, raptors, and waterfowl, can be found here.

The plain chachalaca, green jay, great kiskadee, least grebe, and many other species exclusive to this area establish LRGV as one of the premier birding refuges in the nation.

Peak diversity falls between October and December. A single October day has been known to produce a tremendous 65 documented species of butterflies !

Zebra longwings, Julias, Mexican bluewings are but a few of the 300+ butterfly species that make South Texas a must for butterfly enthusiasts.
