Good morning, Texbirders,
Windy, cool morning, but after the sun appeared, more birds became
active.
Come join the fun! Bird walks are guided daily (except Sunday)
beginning at 8:30am.
Guided bike rides are led on Wednesday mornings at 9am. Call for
reservations.
Tram tours are being conducted Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9:30, Noon, and 2
PM. (no tram Feb 28,29, March 1) Another great way to see the refuge and learn
of the fascinating story of Santa Ana NWR.
