World Birding Center Roma, TX

I am looking for a volunteer position or job for the winter near South Padre Island.  My daughter will be moving to South Padre next week and I want to spend some time with her.

I have sent applications to all of the National Wildlife Refuges near South Padre and have applied with the Texas State Parks.  I even sent an application for a workamper position to the KOA Kampground on South Padre Island.

So far, the only offer I have received is for the
World Birding Center in Roma, TX
(click on the link above to go their website)
this center is about 2 1/2 hours from South Padre.  If I visit with my daughter on my days off - that means 5 hours of driving and a lot of gas$$$.

I'm wondering if anyone reading this blog
 has any experience
with visiting or volunteering at this Center.





I have checked out the website and they have a lot to offer visitors.  I'm thinking maybe I could stay closer to my daughter from November to January and then see if I could volunteer from mid-January through April - before going on to a summer job.


Hope to hear some feedback/suggestions from some of my readers,  Thanks.
