Bird migration
Aransas National Wildlife Refuge
“Whooping cranes winter at the refuge (generally late fall through early spring); they migrate south in fall and head north to breed by spring. Exact arrival and departure vary year to year.”
Austwell, on the central Texas Gulf Coast near Rockport, between Corpus Christi and Victoria · RV base: Day-use only — the refuge has a 16-mile auto-tour loop (open sunrise to sunset), trails and observation towers but no camping. Nearest RV bases are the many private RV parks and resorts around Rockport-Fulton, Texas, a short drive south of the refuge.

Meteor shower
Leonids Meteor Shower
“Peak night of Nov 16-17, 2026; active Nov 6 - Nov 30, 2026 (per NASA)”
Any dark, low-light-pollution site with an open sky works; the radiant near Leo rises after midnight, so predawn hours are best. · RV base: Big Bend National Park, TX - the Rio Grande Village RV Park has full-hookup sites, and the park has the least light pollution of any National Park unit in the lower 48 states, helping these sparse meteors stand out.
