Hi, all! This month's Birder Patrol trip (Saturday the 26th) will be to the La Feria area which will include the Nature Park, Sod farms, and Tiocano Lake. King Rails have been sighted at the latter, and shorebird migration is underway, so we should see SOMETHING! Norma has some surprises up her sleeve, including an area that has Gray Hawks, so there will be a bit of exploring! Meet at the Whataburger in La Feria off US 83 at 7:00. We'll probably pack into vehicles as much as possible to start in order to hit Tiocano Lake first (very few places to pull over), then return to the Whataburger and rearrange things more comfortably. Cost is $5.00 per person, and all proceeds go to support the Arroyo Colorado Audubon Society with their birding classes and Ramsey Park. We may have a few "newbies" coming, so if anyone has extra bins, please bring them to share!
