1 TEAS PAKS AND WILDLIFE BIDS OF BENTSEN-IO GANDE VALLEY S T A T E P A K WOLD BIDING CENTE A FIELD CHECKLIST 2010
2 INTODCTION Cover: Illustration of Mississippi Kite by ob Fleming. August 2010 Bentsen-io Grande Valley State Park consists of 760 acres of subtropical resaca woodlands and drier thorny brushlands that once characterized the entirety of the Lower io Grande Valley but which is now limited to scattered fragments. The park supports about 330 species of birds, many of which are subtropical species typical of eastern Mexico and not found north of the border beyond extreme southern Texas. Some of the characteristic species of the region include Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, Gray Hawk, Hook-billed Kite, Plain Chachalaca, White-tipped Dove, Groove-billed Ani, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Couch s Kingbird, Great Kiskadee, Green Jay, Olive Sparrow and Altamira Oriole. Additionally Bentsen has become well known for consistently producing extremely rare visitors from Mexico, often the first records for these species north of the border. The natural habitats of the park have been created by the evolution of the io Grande over time as it has carved out and then abandoned channels and nourished the lands along it with life-giving floods. Presently the river has been controlled by numerous dams throughout its watershed, and vegetation communities in the park have been gradually drying out and becoming more arid. The transition of Bentsen from traditional state park to headquarters of the World Birding Center has resulted in tripling the size of the protected area with the incorporation of donated land and a cooperative relationship between the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the.s. Fish and Wildlife Service. This checklist, compiled by John Arvin, is based on observations by numerous individuals, and includes those species which have been observed within or passing over the park. Nomenclature and organization for this checklist follow the A.O.. Check-list of North American Birds, 7th edition, 1998 as currently supplemented. Because we will be updating this checklist as additional observations are made, we ask that you report details of new or unusual sightings. eports may be sent to the World Birding Center, 2800 S. Bentsen Palms Dr., Mission, Texas or may be left at the park headquarters. 1
3 Please help us protect the natural avian communities in our parks by refraining from using playback tapes of bird songs. Frequent use of these tapes disrupts normal avian activity patterns and essential territorial behavior, and may lead to nest failure. Thank you for your cooperation.

Natural esources Program, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. In 1983, the Texas Legislature created the Special Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Fund. This fund may be used for nongame wildlife and endangered species research and conservation, habitat acquisition and development and dissemination of information pertaining to nongame management. Money for this fund is obtained through private donations and sale of nongame wildlife art prints and stamps. This fund now gives Texans a unique opportunity to help support this state s valuable and sensitive nongame resources. Your individual contributions and purchases of nongame art prints and stamps will help determine the level of nongame conservation activities in Texas.
