Bentsen State Park is a world birding centre. There are a great many birds here that cannot been seen anywhere else. The greenjay for example is a very bright green olive coloured bird. I couldn't take a picture of one because the darned things wouldnt land anywhere but in the bushes. There is an area set up for the butterflies of which there are more than 60 species. We walked the trails and you can take a tram to the offshoot trails. It wasn't busy the day we were there so Rod and I got to take in the "sounds" all around us. You couldnt tell what was there, but you could hear them... There is a space where you can tent camp in the middle of the park but as you can see, you have to share the area with the local residents lol.....no fences...they have a small conession and information building at the entrance. No automobiles allowed inside the park.
They have wild boars that are just around the corner and we took some pictures from a distance of course.
We came across a mother with some babies along the way. There is nothing between them and us so going into the offshoots was a bit spooky. 
The park has a hawks peak to watch out over the water but trees blocked out most of it. Its a nice park to visit if you are ever down this way.
