An excellent tour today! The tour got a view of a pair of aplomado falcons,
who sat beautiful for quite a while so everyone could get a good look.
We're still seeing snow geese (including the blue goose) and sandhill
cranes on and around the lake, but they are headed North soon! Come join us
for a bird tour before migration is over!
Our bird and habitat tours will continue now through March, every Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday.
If interested in making a reservation for one of our bird tours or for more
information, call the Visitor Center at (956) 748-3607 ex. 111, or get more
