Region - The South Central region includes the southern portion of Nebraska, most of Kansas, Oklahoma, and most of New Mexico and Texas which border Mexico.
This region has a variety of habitats associated with four main types. Urban and Residential environments are common but scattered. Wetlands include freshwater marshes, frequently with surface areas choked with plant growth. Open country includes Agricultural Lands, mesquite grasslands, and, near the sea, coastal prairie. Above the high-tide line coastal dunes are prominent, and bays and harbors are found along the Seacoast. Streamside thickets and deciduous forests and woodlands are not uncommon.
