Government Canyon Bird Walk 05-26-2023
I went on a fantastic bird walk in the Kallison Unit of Government Canyon State Natural Area. It was led by Master Naturalist Derrick Simms and sponsored by the Bexar County Audubon Society. We hike up to where I usually go to check the cowbird traps. I took some nice shots, but I was rushed a bit, and didn't get everything I wanted. Oh well.
 Off we go... |
