Hi everyone,
I'm taking a trip with my wife and child to San Antonio in mid-March of this 
year. We have never been there before and would like to get in some birding to 
see some new birds for us. I'm taking the large part of one day to go on a tour 
of The King Ranch. We will be limited in the other areas that we bird by the 
fact that my daughter will be eight months old. We are staying on the Riverwalk 
and will be limited to fairly nearby places that we will be able to take her by 
stroller (we will have a car to drive to these locations). Some of the places 
we are looking at hitting are: the Riverwalk, Brackenridge Park, San Antonio 
Zoo, San Antonio Botanical Garden, and Friedrich Wilderness Park. Even though 
these places are not set in stone, they pretty much are what we are limited to 
as they are the closest to where we are staying. Any advice on these areas will 
be most appreciated. Even if that advice is to skip one of these areas because 
it isn't birdy that time
 of year.  I realize it is slightly different each year, but should migration 
be going on at that time? Having never birded that part of the country before 
most of your local birds will be new ones to us, and thus we will definitely be 
interested in seeing them. Certain birds we'd love to see if possible are 
Golden-Fronted Woodpecker, Ladder-Backed Woodpecker, Western Scrub-Jay, 
Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher, Vermilion Flycatcher, Black-Chinned hummingbird, 
Golden-Fronted Warbler, Green Jay, and White-Tailed Hawk. If we can be of any 
assistance in helping anyone find birds in Illinois, we'd be most happy to. 

       Thanks and have a great day,

                       Kurt Frieders
