The refuge, thanks to the Rio Grande Valley's
convergence of two major flyways, Central and Mississippi, provides an
ideal habitat for an amazing diversity of bird species, many of which are
unique to this area and not to be found in other parts of the United States
or Mexico. Pick up a checklist of well over 370 bird species, available
at the Visitors Center (Tel
956-787-7861). There
you also find maps and brochures about the areas wildlife. Three nature
trails can be explored. The trails are open from sunrise to sunset.
