Speaking of bird guides in Texas, Karen and I had a very memorable experience while hoping to find a Red-headed Woodpecker. We used Birders Dashboard as our guide in Texas (and elsewhere)

and were walking through some woods where that woodpecker had been reported. Along came an older gentleman accompanied by a younger man. My first thought was it was nice that a son was taking his Dad birding. We told them that we were hoping to see a Red-headed Woodpecker. They said that they could help us with that. Off we went. I was walking with the "Dad" who was an extremely nice person. He introduced himself. "I'm Victor Emanuel". Whoa! Fortunately I had heard of Victor Emanuel and his nature tours

He and the younger man were scouting for a tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his company. We have never been on a VENT tour, but we have been guided by Victor Emanuel, a very humble, pleasant person. Within a few minutes we had a Red-headed Woodpecker in view.

A friend and I are thinking of spending a week in this area, but I cannot make plans as I don't have a clue what guide includes this area. Theres one on Rio Grande, and several others, so which includes that area?
>>
Thank you for your help in this matter.
