Texas Novembe 2011
I was attending the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival in November 2011 working for Opticron and was fortunate to get
some birding done each day. This is the second time that I have done some birding in this area having originally been here in April 2002.
The birding in souterh Texas is fantastic.
Highlight of the trip for me was a couple of visits to Estero Llano Grande, a brilliant reserve and fantastic for photography. Texas is another place that I MUST visit again.
