Site is off Cutoff then Ross, next to water treatment facility. Roseates galore but the big old gator grabbed everyone's attention. Good place to meet other birders as source of advice for other sites.

Small but well worth seeing if you are interested in water birds plus warblers in the spring. At the landscaped entrance is a grove of trees that was full of small birds--three kinds of warblers when we were there.

A must-see for anyone remotely interested in birds. Always a great variety of waterfowl and other birds in season. Boardwalk and observation tower allow for close views, and good photography. Thanks to the town and its co-sponsors, together with the volunteers, for this and the many other free and excellent birding spots in Port A.

Lots of good trails. Check with them first to see what is expected to be there during your visit. Bring camera w/zoom and binoculars as they won't land on your arm.

Although not an avid birder, Port Aransas lives up to its name as it goes above & beyond to provide birding opportunities & information. There are mostly free, except for the annual Whooping Crane festival (last weekend of Feb), guided by knowledgeable volunteers, opportunites to bird in Port Aransas.

It was great getting out and walking two miles on their trail. The scene is beautiful. However, we did not get to see very much wildlife. We did see tracts for the coyotes. We will go here again.
