Estero Llano Grande State Park attracts a spectacular array
of South Texas wildlife with its varied landscape of shallow
lakes and woodlands. In late summer, hundreds of wading
and shorebirds flock here, including wood stork and roseate
spoonbill. Migrating waterfowl also make a beeline for the
park’s narrow, shallow lakes. The woodland and thorn scrub
harbors rarities such as the grove-billed ani and Altamira
oriole. Birders and nature lovers of all experience levels will
enjoy exploring this almost 200-acre refuge.
Birdwatching: Over 250 species of birds have been recorded here.
