Birding Information
The neo-tropical migration for 2009 was a good one. Orioles, warblers, thrushes, tanagers, grosbeaks, buntings are
just a few of the sightings. It's one of the annual wonders of Coastal Texas and this event didn't last long. For 2010 I am
offering a spring migration special for birding trips covering everthing from Pollywog Pond on the Nueces River to Paradise
Pond in Port Aransas. These special rate trips start at $130 for 2 persons and $65 each for additional persons for half-day
trips. Full day trips are $210 for 2 persons and $105 for each additional person (4 person max). Call now to take advantage of
these special rates (361-937-8446)
Full day trips typically begin at 8:00AM and conclude by 4:30PM. Captain Billy gives special attention to species of interest
for each charter. Photographs are encouraged and are typically best taken in the afternoon or later half of the trip.
Birding Trips that tour the Padre Island National Seashore currently run $400. for 2 persons. 2 people min price . $100. each
additional person over 2. These trips typically tour the entire length of the National Seashore and as previously mentioned will
give special attention to particular interests of each charter.
