Hi, all!
I joined the "Birder Patrol" Frontera Birdathon team for the morning, where
we covered Estero Llano Grande SP. Unfortunately we dipped on both the
mega-rarities (wind was keeping everything down, and nothing even called),
but we still had some nice things; personally I had 80 species for the
morning (still waiting to hear how the rest of the gang did that afternoon)!
The blow by blow with pictures can be seen here:
