Rio Grande Valley Birding - Destinations

Mission Area - Hidalgo County

Bentzen Rio Grande Valley State Park

One of my favorite places in the valley because I believe it has the most variety of birds and probably the best chance at the rarest of birds.

South Padre Island Area - Cameron County

Convention Center

Always a great chance at some really nice birds, especially during peak migration as most birds will come through this area first after coming across the gulf. When they get here, they are tired, thirsty and hungry and gives viewers the best chance at seeing them well as they don't mind as much.
