Along with Margaret England of the Hendry-Glades Audubon Chapter, I led a group of about twenty individuals from the Big O Birding Festival to STA-5 this past Saturday, March 31st. It was an abbreviated tour of about 2.5 hours in duration and, unlike our "normal" tours which start at 8:30AM, this one really didn't start until about 3:00PM.
