Louise,
?
Ditto what Joe and Wilson listed, especially High Island.? Awesome!? If you head south, Braznos Bend State Park is terrific.? I may have butchered the spelling, but you'll find it.? Great warblers and woodpeckers there!
?
Wish I was going with you.?

A work conference is putting me on Galveston Island, TX in mid-April ? could be worse! I?m considering which books to invest in, and looking on Amazon, I?m debating:
?
Finding Birds on the Great Texas Birding Trail: Houston, Galveston and Upper Texas, by Ted L Eubanks Jr
Exploring the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, by Mel White (Falcon Guide)
Birdlife of Houston, Galveston and the Upper Texas Coast, by Ted L Eubanks Jr
Birding Texas, by Roland H Wauer (Falcon Guide)
?
If anyone has experience using these books, particularly in the Galveston Island area, I would appreciate your comments. Of course, if you know of better books, I?d love to hear that too. I will be hiring a car, but I?m not looking to drive more than about 90 minutes from Galveston Island to bird, so if anyone has recommendations for good bird spots in that radius, please fill me in!
