Had a bus full of folks today for the birding tour. Had much of the usual
stuff, along with highlights of Green Kingfisher, Vermilion Flycatcher, and
Tropical Kingbird along the canal on the east side of the park. Hearing a
Cactus Wren singing was fun as well. Some of that canal is visible from
Westside park across from the McAllen Convention Center, but it should be
noted that the park itself is still closed to the public (Quinta Mazatlan
has one more scheduled trip in March). However, there is progress being
made on the reopening - check the link for more information.
