The day started cold and misty with limited visibility with 6 visitors intent on finding birds despite the handicap. We snagged the Aplomado Falcon in 2 different locations with good looks both times. New species for included Swamp Sparrow. I'm still amazed at the number of Common Yellowthroat in this brush habitat. Call for reservations as birding tours fill up quickly. 956-748-3607x119 Tours Thursday through Monday.
