Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge

Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge was our destination for the volunteer field trip today. It was another cloudy, drizzly day but not nearly as cold.

We drove Bayside Drive (15 miles) with a total of 75 species for the day.

Birds of note: Bufflehead, Northern Bobwhite, White-tailed Kite, Harris’s Hawk, White-tailed Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, Long-billed Curlew, Greater Roadrunner.

We went to Dirty Al’s on the Island for lunch. It was really good!
