May 29 Breathtaking, surprises everywhere
Abundant wildlife for the wildlife enthusiast. My first time there and I will be back every year. The amount of wildlife is truly amazing! I saw deer, rattlesnakes, redfish tailing, bobcat, javelina, eagles, and the list goes on. A very unique place. It was like driving through a safari!
April 7 I love living here by VeronicaLucio
Laguna Atascosa is my get-a-way and the most peaceful, BEAUTIFUL area God has blessed us with down here in South Texas. Just this morning I drove out a sunsrise with a friend. We saw deer, beautiful birds, three nilgai, and serene land. At sunset two days ago we encountered and entire herd of magical nilgai running across the open land. It was breathtaking. We also saw an ocelot, a bobcat and javelina, deer, coyote and breathtaking birds. I have been out there several times a year and each time has proven to be phenomenal. I love taking friends, family and visitors to the area.
March 24 Our favorite place to look for wildlife by Joan
We are avid photographers and have seen most animals that live in the refuge. When it is wet, there are abundances of birds of every type and when it is dry, we seem to see more cats. There are always deer, nilgui, alligators, lots of roadrunners and bunnies, hawks, Mexican eagles, osprey, greenjays, ducks, pigs, javalinas and so many more. We are always searching for the elusive oscelot and I swear I saw a Jaguarundi a few years back. It is a very special place.
April 11 You must see it!!!
We did not expect to visit such a beautiful place. We have seen birds, rattle snakes and alligators. The views of the laguna are unique. We strongly recommend to visit it and to take the 15 mile drive loop.
