MMAS May 2013 field trip to Choke Canyon

Choke Canyon State Park will be our last field trip before our 3 month summer break. This park consisting of two units, South Shore and Calliham, is located on 26,000-acre Choke Canyon Reservoir, a water supply for Corpus Christi. Choke Canyon lies in the thick of the brushy heartland of the South Texas Plains. The region is semi-arid and warm to hot most of the year. There will be a park entry fee of $3/person. If you have a Texas State Park pass, please remember to bring that.

Many typically Mexican species of birds approach the northern limits of their range here, making this one of Texas' finest places to watch birds.

• This field trip is located in McMullen County

Bring ample water, snacks and a sack lunch. We will have ample time to enjoy a lunch break here. Expected return back to Laredo would be between 3-4pm.
