Hi, all!
Ten Birder Patrollers headed out on the "Puerto Rico Route" this morning (FM
1017 westbound to the dirt road circling Puerto Rico); best bird was a Lark
Bunting early on, but the highlight for many was a close Great Horned Owl!
We got a pair of Roadrunners going, too! Afterwards our car went down the
north end of Jara Chinas in hopes of a stray Prairie Falcon, but got a
"Fuertes'" Red-tailed Hawk instead. A few pics are on my Facebook page:
