Hi.
We are going to visit coastal/Southern Texas in April and/or May for 3 weeks. Our aim is to see many species (what else) but without too much haste and to see nice landscapes, too.
I have intended the following itinerary:
(Houston) -> High Island -> Central Texas Coast -> Lower Texas Coast -> Rio Grande -> Big Bend -> Edwards Plateau -> (Houston)
Actually I am most interested in High Island (migration) and Lower Rio Grande.
Lots of questions, I know... Thanks in advance!

- Is it okay for 3 weeks without getting stressful? In case it is not, which place(s) would you skip?
- Are there any key sites in each region not to miss?
- Do you know any reliable spots where to see Elf Owl?
- Are there any species one should not miss (TX-(near)-endemics, enigmatic species) and what are the best spots to see them?
- Is there any up to date where-to-watch guidebook (could not find one) or which of the older ones would you recommend?
Lots of questions, I know... Thanks in advance!
