Use google to find out about the birding in that area. My suggestion is to be sure and watch for the "Marfa lights".

I did use google (always my 1st step) but I want to get some personal perspective from anyone who has been there to photograph wildlife and familiar with the area; can provide specific places, time of day, year, what to watch out for... you know that sort of stuff.

Thanks

Thanks. How far is it from Alpine (that's where I'll be staying)?
