I recently returned from a family trip to Texas. While there, we took a birding tour on the King Ranch near Kingsville. We saw a wide variety of birds on the tour including cara caras, vermillion flycatchers, stilts, and green jays. I also saw my first javelina. It was a fun tour and interesting to see the inside of a working ranch. The tour runs for about 4 hours. Despite the rain, it was an informative and enjoyable experience. A trained biologist lead the tour which really helped with identification and his knowledge of the birds and wildlife was extensive.
