1996. The project is funded by the Texas Department of
Transportation through the federal Intermodal Surface Trans-
portation Efficiency Act.
TPWD and TxDOT want public input from coastal
communities to nominate additional sites on a one-page form
available from TPWD’s nongame branch in Austin.
Public outreach meetings will be held at 7 p.m. in Corpus
Christi on Nov. 1 at 1701 SJU.D. and at 7 p.m. in Victoria on
Nov. 8 at the Victoria Community Center. At these meetings or
by mail, local landowners, business and community lea'* ”
nominate more sites or offer information for possible
in the trail guide.
A few privately owned sites with great birding and good
public access will also be considered for the trail. The King
Ranch and private sites near Indianola and Port Mansfield are al-
ready under consideration, and other landowners may nominate
Although the trail will include existing sites like national
wildlife refuges and state and local parks, it will also create new
sites. Trail planners have $250,000 to buy land for new sites now,
and will have a total of $750,000 for site acquisition after all trail
phases are funded. A total of $150,000 will be available to en-
hance existing sites. .. _ . _
"We won’t be out buying big wildlife refuges, said Ted Eu-
banks, who has been hired as a consultant to oversee the project.
"These will be small birding destinations similar to roadside rest
stops—places that overtook resacas or wetlands, for example."
Eubanks, a Houston businessman and National Audubon
Society board member, and Madge Lindsay of TPWD s
nongame and urban wildlife program, helped plan and secure
funding for the trail.
The new sties will vary in size from just a few acres to more
than 15 acres.
than 15 acres.
Highlights of the trail include nine national wildlife refuges
operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sites that offer
some of the best bitding m the world. The Laguna Atascosa
NWR near Brownsville has documented 393 species of birds—to
their knowledge more than any other national wildlife refuge.

Eubanks said die trail concept is two-fold. First, it will pull
together not only birding sites but also goods and service
providers into a cohesive package that can be marketed to out-
of-state birders. Second, it will do this in a way that lures birders
