Birding Alternatives when our Public Lands are Closed

We want to welcome you to visit a fantastic blog about nature in the Big Bend, at www.bigbendnature.com  Their latest post provides LOTS of alternatives for birders who've been disappointed by closures at Big Bend National Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Davis Mountains State Park. 

The birding team of Heidi Trudell and Matthew York of Marathon offer scouting and guiding services...and their blog is excellent.  They've put together a quick and easy list of birding sites you might try now that our national park properties are closed; and Davis Mountains State Park is undergoing a major infrastructure upgrade, and closed as well.

Check out their advice at yesterday's entry, "Birding the Furlough."
