I am planning a trip to the Rio Grande Valley in the spring of 1989 and am interested in any information that the net-birders can supply about this area. I have read a couple of books that deal with this area, but I am sure that any personal experiences would be most helpful. I welcome all details that you can give me, no matter how minute ( for instance, how far to walk down a particular trail; what tree to look in; etc. ). Also, I would like to know when you consider the best time to go ( the trip is tentatively planned for the end of April ). My plans are to include the gulf coast of Texas as well and, possibly ( hopefully ), the Chisos Mountains. Thanks in advance. Looking and listing, Mike

I followed the one for the Texas coast with no problems and found the places easily. 1. A Birder's Guide to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, James A. Lane. 2. A Birder's Guide to the Texas Coast, James A. Lane and John L. Tveten. These books are (used) to be distributed by L&P Press, Box 21604, Denver, CO 80221. -Jim Dunham pollux!jgd
