We were able to set up on site 11 without any issues. Met some of the volunteers and took a few walks around the area. We do have a "outpost" building that has two washers and dryers and 2 bathrooms with showers. Refrigerators, freezers, lg TV, sitting area, ice machine and much more.
We did get to Port Isabel for a delightful shrimp and flounder lunch. We are about 16 miles from Port Isabel, a bit closer than we are to Rice Lake where we shop when at home.
Monday we went to the weekly safety/information meeting where we finally met the Refuge Manager and the interns.
Tuesday Dec 4th we went to Frontera Audubon Nature Center in Weslaco to get our 613th bird! A Golden Crowned Warbler. We have been looking for this bird for a few years! Then off to Estero Llano Grande State Park for a great walk and lots of "Valley" birds.
Wednesday we headed to South Padre Island to the Birding Center. Great start to our stay here!
