Quintana Island
Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary
The Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary sits like an exotic island of birding habitat on the modestly larger (and actually man-made) island of Quintana just off the coast of Freeport ,Texas. Although surrounded by industry, the spring migratory birds still find their way back here each year.
Calming the Waters' crew photographed Jim Blackburn and his friends as they toured the sanctuary, led by bird guide and naturalist Glenn Olsen. A healthy variety of birds, and an explosion of spring flowers ornamented the several acres of parkland.
