Birding in Texas: Thousands flock to view more than 300 species of birds
In Texas, spring gives way to color on the ground and in the rookery.
Deichman says birding in southeast Texas is pretty extravagant. Some call it a hobby, but it can get pretty competitive.“Everybody is here for a different reason, some are here just to check a bird off their list. Some people just like to sit and watch. I like to just see what I can find.” Deichman said you can see an upwards of 300 different bird species, from great egrets, snowy egrets, roseat spoonbills, and others.
And one of the largest migratory corridors in North America is right here in Texas, Deichman says. It is positional on the Gulf of Mexico, between two main flyaways: the Mississippi flyaway and the Central flyaway.
