Birding

The Texas Coastal Bend is a top birding destination, home to hundreds of species year-round. From Whooping Cranes at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge to Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in coastal gardens, diverse habitats provide incredible viewing opportunities.

Aransas Pathways sites throughout Rockport offer peaceful trails, shaded benches, and photo blinds near water features—perfect for spotting migrating warblers, resident shorebirds, and winter visitors. Explore wetlands, prairies, and oak-filled woodlands, and see why this region is a favorite for both birds and birders.
