Bird Songs
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley
and Southwestern Texas
Review by Michael and Diane Porter
If you want to see a Colima Warbler in North America, you have to go to Big Bend, Texas. It's the only place in the USA where the bird hangs out.
Texas has lots of special birds, such as Green Jay, Golden-cheeked Warbler, and Black-capped Vireo, which live primarily in Mexico but a few of which just barely make it into southern Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.
This CD gathers the songs of 119 Texas specialties. Listen to these songs before you go, and you'll be ready to recognize them when you encounter them on your journey. Or just sit back and enjoy the sound of springtime along the Rio Grande and in southwestern Texas, assembled by the esteemed Cornell Lab or Ornithology's Library of Natural Sounds.

Below are the birds whose songs you will hear on the "Bird Sounds of the Lower Rio Grande and Southwestern Texas" audio CD.
