Another list from our bird tour, provided by the fabulous Bill and Judy
Lubben. Spring has sprung and we're beginning to see fewer winter birds and
more warm weather birds. But, as always, birding around the Laguna Atascosa
is awesome!
Our bird tours will continue through the end of March, every Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday at 8:30 am.
We also have habitat tours and Bahia Grande tours, neither of which are
bird tours, but are still great ways to see birds if you are also
interested in a little bit of history and information about the area! They
are also available on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
If interested in making a reservation for one of our bird tours, or for more
information about any of the tours, call the Visitor Center at (956)
748-3607 ex. 111, or get more
