Birding Salineño Wildlife Preserve in South Texas!

Situated right along the natural border between the United States and Mexico is one of the premier birding destinations in South Texas: Salineño Wildlife Preserve. Hosting many specialized species, we traversed the trails of this fascinating preserve in late January in hopes of finding Morelet's Seedeaters and other interesting birds.
