Hi, all! This month's Valley Nature Center-sponsored field trip will be to Sacahuistale Flats and Port Mansfield. Shorebird migration has begun, so who knows what will show up at the coast, but we also hope for some Valley specialties on the way such as Cassin's and Botteri's Sparrows, White-tailed and Harris' Hawks, and Altamira Oriole for Willacy County (for those keeping county lists ;-)). Meet at the Stripes in Raymondville at 7:30; those in the Edinburg/McAllen area can meet at the Flying J Plaza at Monte Cristo and US 281 (around the west side parking area, closest to the frontage road) at 6:45 to carpool. Cost is $5.00 per person, and all proceeds go to sponsoring a school field trip to the Valley Nature Center. See you there!
