Fred Jones Nature Sanctuary

Owned by the Audubon Outdoor Club of Corpus Christi, this site is a hot-spot for birders looking for songbirds during migration. Buff-bellied hummingbird is a resident, and many other species inhabit the native brush and trees along the creek year-round. No vehicles are allowed in the park. A walking path is the only access. Open daily from sunrise–sunset. From Portland: 6.5 miles west on F.M. 893 (Moore Avenue). At the intersection with F.M. 1074, turn left on C.R. 69E (Koonce Loop Road). The sanctuary will be on the left. Portland Chamber of Commerce: 361/643-2475. www.ccbirding.com/aoc/sanctuar.htm.
