BIRDS |
|
The birding in this area is excellent. Please come pay us a visit and help out in adding to our extensive list. The list will surely grow throughout the year as seasonal migrants move in and out of the area. As this list shows, we have already recorded 13 orders, 41 families, and over 220 species! Rancho Mastatal lies along two major migratory routes, the Pacific Coast (running north and south) and the Caribbean (running east and west). We would like to send out a big heartfelt thanks to Deb Heiden for all her hard work in updating our list!
