30 Birds

4/ On the Border


hb kite

One Saturday in the first week of May, following a conference of our southern natural heritage programs held in the Texas Hill Country, I was birding with Larry Master and the brothers Hedges near Falcon Dam on the Rio Grande. I had already birded the Rio Grande Valley extensively on a previous trip, so to some extent my primary motivation for going along with Dr Master was that I had nothing else to do that day.

It didn't take long for me to come to my senses and realize that this was an opportunity not to be missed . . .

A list of the many topics brought up in this chapter can be found in Addendum.
