The Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in deep South Texas is home to the headquarters of the World Birding Center, a network of nine sites along the Texas-Mexico border that are aligned with migratory bird patterns. With a plethora of birds at the sites year round, the eco-tourism potential is not lost on the organization, who built a visitors center at their Mission, TX headquarters, designed by San Antonio-based Lake|Flato Architects.
