Birding
"Laredo Is For The Birds" Laredo, Texas lies in a region of North America where a fascinating mix of birds, other vertebrae species, and plant life forms coexist. Many tropical species, because of the generally warm climate and lack of prolonged cold, reach the northern limits of their distribution in this region. The prevailing subtropical climate, the presence of Tamaulipan thorn scrub, and the convergence of migratory pathways of birds, all contribute significantly to the incredible bird diversity found in the Laredo, Texas area. Some of the western species observed during a recent survey include the Swainson's Hawk, Greater Roadrunner, Black Phoebe, Verdin, Cactus Wren and Rock Wren. Twenty-four tropical species were observed during the same survey. They include the Least Grebe, White-tipped Dove, Groovebilled Ani, Green Jay and White-collared Seedeater. Birders will want to visit the river road behind Laredo Community College (LCC). The Paso del Indio Nature Trail, which can be accessed through LCC's Lamar Bruni Vergara Science Center, connects to the road. With a little luck, birders may see a Red-billed Pigeon along the road... (cont.) |
Migratory birds which breed in the eastern forests of the U.S. are funneled through the region every spring and fall, as they follow the gently curving coastline of the Gulf of Mexico. Some eastern migrants will stop and remain in the region during the winter, where some temperate species reach the southern limits of their distribution. Similarly, species which breed in north temperate grasslands or in subarctic latitudes and which traverse the Great Plains during migration also pass through the region every spring and fall.
