Texas CARE: West Gulf Coastal Plains Region
Includes 46 counties in East Texas.
Habitat problems limiting waterfowl and wildlife populations include: 1) conversion
and/or degradation brought about by agricultural activities and urbanization;
2) fragmentation of remaining habitat; 3) reservoir construction; 4) industrial
and/or commercial development; 5) gas exploration, both current and abandoned;
and 6) invasion of exotic vegetation.
Several major river bottoms and large reservoirs winter up to 1 million
ducks, of which mallards, gadwall, and green-winged teal are the most common
species. Wood ducks winter and breed in the bottomlands in large numbers.
