It borders a bay on the Intracoastal Waterway, behind a barrier island at the Gulf of Mexico. {{stack|}}Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1969 and provides quality habitat for wintering migratory waterfowl and other bird life. The refuge contains a freshwater slough which winds through salt marshes.[2] In winter, more than 100,000 snow geese, Canada geese, pintail, northern shoveler, teal, gadwall, American wigeon, mottled ducks, and sandhill cranes fill the numerous ponds and sloughs to capacity.[2] In summer, birds which nest on the refuge include 10 species of herons and egrets, white ibis, roseate spoonbill, mottled duck, white-tailed kite, clapper rail, horned lark, seaside sparrow, black skimmer, and scissor-tailed flycatcher.[2] Three national wildlife refuges on the Texas coast - Brazoria, San Bernard and Big Boggy - form a vital complex of coastal wetlands harboring more than 300 bird species.[3] Notes1. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.fws.gov/refuges/realty/archives/pdf/2010_Annual_Report_of_Lands.pdf |title= Annual Report of Lands Under Control of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service |date= September 30, 2010 |work= www.fws.gov |publisher= U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service |accessdate=December 14, 2011}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web| title=Brazoria Refuge | author=FWS | publisher=FWS.gov| date=September 2008 | accessdate=2008-09-20|url=http://www.fws.gov/SOUTHWEST/REFUGES/texas/texasmidcoast/brazoria.htm }} 3. ^{{cite web| title=San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge| author=FWS | publisher=FWS.gov| date=September 2008 | accessdate=2008-09-20|url=http://southwest.fws.gov/refuges/texas/sanbern.html }} References
