This means that there have always been a comparatively large number of birdwatchers and birders who live in San Antonio. Birding activity tends to beget birding activity, which begets more birding activity, etc. Like many locations, Bexar County tends to have definite peaks and lows in avifaunal diversity. Springtime is obviously the best time to bird Bexar County, although many of the glamour species are also seen in the Summer. Each of our species has its own timetable for getting things done.
Shorebirds add to the confusion.
Only 114 currently are know to nest in Bexar County. That total could probably be increased by incrreased access to private land. That possibility is countered by the increasing urbanization of Bexar County which will almost certainly result in fewer nesting species of birds in Bexar County.
