The weather was perfect for this morning's tour to the west side of Laguna Atascosa NWR, Highlights included flyovers of both Greater-white-fronted Goose and Snow Goose, the faithful Vermilion Flycatcher, Peregrine Falcon, and a surprise Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Good light made Sandwich Terns easy to ID with the bright yellow tip on the bill. We were able to get 4 Sora to respond to a loud clap and Common Yellowthroats were "common". Tours are beginning to fill up so call for reservations. 956-748-3708 X111.
