Bird Walk Report, Jan. 12, 2012

     Despite the blustery 30mph+ winds today, we still had a few intrepid souls brave the boardwalks today. Although our passerine numbers were a little low, we still had some great looks at Least Bittern and Sora.  Our resident Tropical Kingbirds were still out and about as well.  No matter it is always a great day to be out at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center! We have guided walks every Thursday-Sunday at 930am.
