Hello Texbirders,
Below is a list of birds seen on Tuesday, January 22nd. It was another
beautiful Bentsen day and there was a lot of activity in our Resaca La
Parida Banco. Various herons, cormorants, ducks, egrets, and more can be
seen from the Kingfisher Overlook. Feeder stations are being filled
twice a day in the park and there are several hummingbird feeders
located around the headquarters buildings attracting Buff-bellied,
Ruby-throated, and Black-chinned Hummingbirds. Happy birding!
