Hi Texbirders, sorry for the late post, but internet a bit touchy at the refuge today. Lots of birders and birds today...we did 2 walks, morning and afternoon. Our highlights were: GRAY HAWK, STILT SANDPIPER, a pair of RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS, GREEN KINGFISHER at canal near VC, CLAY-COLORED THRUSH, and NASHVILLE WARBLER. 57 species total. Major & Mary will be leading the 8:30AM Birdwalk Sunday through Tuesday. We will be giving a free program, "Birding Adventures in Trinidad and Tobago" on Tuesday, February 18th at 2:00PM in the Santa Ana NWR Auditorium.
