Howdy texbirders, Hoping your new year bird lists are off to a great start, and if not come on out to Estero Llano Grande SP/WBC in the morning (Sunday) and get it going. Below is the list on our walk this morning with a great group of birders out to have a good time looking at our fine feathered friends. Take a look below and see what is possible to see again tomorrow and who knows maybe even a bird may show up that is completely unexpected and we are expecting to see YOU. Remember, Bird for your health, Forget your worries, You'll be happier.
