A Guide to Birding High Island, Bolivar Flats and East Texas During Peak Migration

In this video on The Birding Voyage we explore the area of High Island, Texas, where thousands of birds migrate through each year after crossing the Gulf of Mexico. I explored several hotspots such as Smith Oaks, Boy Scout Woods, Anahuac, Bolivar Flats and Sabine Woods. It was an incredible experience and I would highly recommend visiting there. I was there April 11th-14th. From my research the peak of migration is the 2nd and 3rd week of April.
