So it's not entirely coastal, being more than 20 miles inland from the phenomenal birding grounds around South Padre Island, Texas. Not only are there ample opportunities to see the inn's namesake bird in the bushes, the accommodations are splendid. Birders want peace, tranquility, and birds that are accessible to them. We offer all that right here. The house, with six-guest rooms, is tucked into stands of mesquite, ebony, ironwood, and wild olive trees.
Bougainvillea tumble over walls like colored ribbons.
The rooms are large and luxurious, all with phone and television and king-size beds. But it is the birding, always the birding, that attracts. Trails nip through the underbrush. There is a watchtower that allows you to look out over an adjoining oxbow lake, and a blind where you can sit and watch green jays, chachalacas, and other exotic birds. Two butterfly gardens add to the natural charm.
