Bentsen-RGV State Park Sunday Bird Walk    March 3, 2013
 

Hello, 

 

The Red-naped Sapsucker continues at Bentsen-RGV State Park near the
boat ramp "Wall Blind" (feeder #5).  It has been working the Black
Willow trees. 

 

Good news for birders - Thanks to the efforts of the USFWS, we now have
water at the Hawk Tower Resaca which has already begun to attract ducks
and shorebirds.  

 

The Bentsen-RGV State Park Hawk Watch is on and continues through April
30 from 9am to noon daily at the Hawk Tower.  Hop on the 8:30 am Tram
and join us at the Hawk Tower.  No tram service on Mondays.

 

New schedule for Bird Tours:  Sundays & Wednesdays 8:30 to 10:30 am.
