Nature Photo Ops in Dallas and Houston, TX?

[BigAssHam]

Hello to all! I am headed to Dallas and Houston in March and I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions on some places to shoot wildlife. I am in each city for only one day of shooting each and I want to maximize my time there. I know you can find lots of info online, but I wanted the scoop from people who have actually been there for wildlife photography. Any help?

Cheers,
Al

Sorry Al,

The only times I spent in Texas were on business trips.
I was in Austin, and took a sideline trip to San Antonio.

You should check in with Abel's other board.

I'm sure they will be able to help you over there.

Enjoy your trip, and please share the photos when you get back.
