More Information & Itinerary
The East Texas Pineywoods is a distinctive birding region that feels more like Louisiana or Arkansas than the landscapes most often associated with Texas. Its vast forests create prime habitat for bird species unique to the southeastern United States, making it a must-visit for birders in search of specialty species.
Exploring the Big Thicket National Preserve and nearby parks offers excellent opportunities to encounter the region’s signature bird—the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker—along with other highlights such as Pileated Woodpecker, Bachman’s Sparrow, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Prairie Warbler, Swainson’s Warbler, and Swallow-tailed Kite. The dense forests also act as an important stopover for migrating woodland birds, adding seasonal variety to the birding experience.
Cost: $350USD
