There is a fun event at the end of February, "The Whooping Crane Festival", this site doesn't allow links but you can search it. Also give Aransas Bay Birding Charters a call as they will be able to tell you what birds return when. We love the Turnbull birding center and unlike others who posted we were so excited to see the gator!! We had been going for years before Hurricane Harvey and never got to see one. The new boardwalk is awesome and we hope they will keep expanding. There are some other sanctuaries near and in Rockport which is just a short drive so search those as well.
I read something on Whooping Cranes that come to the area, and now I cant find where that is. Would you happen to know? Thank you
A:
The Aransas National Wildlife webpage is a good source of info The Whopping Cranes generally arrive in October and stay until March Hope this is helpful
