Birding

Lake Casa Blanca Is Also a Birding Lake

Lake Casa Blanca International State Park is the state park inside Laredo, best known for boating, fishing, and camping. TPWD's Laredo Loop adds a birding angle most visitors never notice.

TPWD calls this urban reservoir a haven for pelicans, wading birds, waterfowl, terns, and gulls. The park's Mesquite Bend Trail is the spot for desert birds, and at sunset you can watch Mexican free-tailed bats stream out near the dam. It's the kind of place where water, brush, and desert-edge wildlife overlap in one afternoon.

Check TPWD before going for park fees, access, trail conditions, water-level alerts, and current birding news from the park office.
