2088 acre refuge
situated along
the banks of the
Rio Grande
south of Alamo,
Texas. It was
established for
the protection
of migratory
birds in 1943.

5. We live in a very unique
location of the world where
these 4 different climate
zones meet.
We are home to plant and
animal species found
nowhere else in the United
States.
The climate of the Lower Rio Grande Valley is
subtropical and the combination of western desert,
northern, coastal and tropical plants found here
make the region among the most unique in Texas.

historical flooding of the Rio Grande, maintaining the
bottom land hardwood forest and providing crucial
nesting and feeding habitat for birds, watering holes
for animals, and homes for countless
amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans and insects.

23. Along the banks of the
final stretch of the Rio
Grande lies the Santa Ana
National Wildlife Refuge
(NWR), appropriately
recognized as ‘the jewel'
of the National Wildlife
Refuge System. Plain
chachalacas, great
kiskadees and green jays
are just three of the many
bird species that bring
visitors from across the
United States and 35
countries flocking to
Santa Ana NWR.
