Beautiful morning at Bahia Grande Unit; due to wind and clouds, birds were
not very active, but what we managed to tally were quite nice.
White-tailed Kites were numerous as were the Nilgai, which is always
thrilling to visitors.
Highlight was a Sprague's Pipit that entertained a van load of
photographers with his antics for 10 minutes.
Tours seven days a week alternating between Laguna Atascosa
and Bahia Grande; call for reservations. 956-244-2019
