This week on the bird tour to the Bahia Grande Unit (which is not open to
the public), we did see an Aplomado Falcon! Laguna Atascosa National
Wildlife Refuge is one of the best places to spot this bird as it is making
a great comeback from near extinction.
If interested in attending one of our bird tours or for more information,
