Rio Bosque Wetlands Park: Winter Bird Tour

Wetland and riparian habitats amidst the Chihuahuan Desert

Rio Bosque Wetlands Park is a 372-acre City of El Paso park the University of Texas at El Paso manages through its Center for Environmental Resource Management.

Wetlands and riverside forests once graced the banks of the Rio Grande in the Paso del Norte region. They were the most productive natural habitats in the region, but today they are virtually gone.

At Rio Bosque, the environment is still changing, but in a new way. Here, a diverse partnership is working to bring back meaningful examples of the unique and valuable ecosystems once found in our river valley.

This tour gives a small glimpse of the many bird species that visit the park during the winter months.

This tour was created with funding provided by EPA grant #NE-01F54901-0
