A great day for birding! No Aplomado Falcon on the bird tour today, but we
did see one on the habitat tour- I think a pair is using the nesting box!
Still a great day out and around the lake, over 50 species seen!
Our bird tours will continue every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:30
am through the end of March, and require a reservation.
Good news! We'll also be offering bird tours on Thursdays and Fridays,
beginning April 6 and ending April 21. Spring migration is just beginning,
so please join us!
If interested in making a reservation for one of our bird tours, or for more
information about any of our other tours, call the Visitor Center at (956)
748-3607 ex. 111, or get more information on our website at
