How close are you to South Padre island? That is another birders hot spot...

Actually closer to North Padre Island.

We have all kinds of birds that either come here to winter or fly through going further south. Thus the “snowbird” moniker for the northerners that winter here to escape the snow.

My personal favorite is the hawk migration. Literally thousands birds of prey that spiral upwards in the thermals.
