Explored I-20 Nature Preserve with Midnats/friends Bill and Kathy. Fantastic enchanting place, never dreamed when we started birding there 20+ years ago it would every become so wonderful. Great boardwalks, terrific hawk tower and amazing blinds. Keep it wild and protected habitat for birds, butters, wildflowers, and all the other critters that depend upon such urban treasures. Way to go Nate and all the board members.
32 species of birds, 9 b'flies ID'd while others flitted away incognito, damsels, lacewings, and ladybugs, 19 varieties of wildflowers, I'm sure I missed some...
Swainson's Hawk pair building nest on the island and Verdin actively feeding young. Sadly, water is evaporating quickly and has almost disappeared with just a small puddle left in the northeast corner of the playa left over from the September rain.
