*King Ranch Santa Gertrudis with Jeffrey Gordon

Presentation speakers
- Jeffrey A. Gordon, President, American Birding Association
Fee $125 / Wednesday 6a – 4p
A special version of our already-popular King Ranch trip, above. Beyond the unique avian offerings, this more northerly section is special for three reasons. First, festival access to the infrequently birded Santa Gertrudis Division (named after the original Spanish land grant purchased by Captain King), which has an abundance of both wetland and upland habitats. Second, American Birding Association President Jeffrey Gordon personally leads. And third, a ‘ranch-style’ lunch for fun!
! Important: There is a US Border Patrol Check Station at Sarita. Make sure you have your official ID along. Participants without proper identification will not be permitted to board this trip. If you are not a US or Canadian citizen, please contact us.
Targets: Masked Duck (very rare), Least Grebe, White-tailed Hawk, Crested Caracara, Say’s Phoebe, Vermilion Flycatcher, Sprague’s Pipit. ! Note: Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl is not possible on this portion of the ranch.
