With over 40 different species recorded (35+ being annual), the Bolivar Peninsula and adjacent areas is a hotspot for many of the Western Hemisphere’s shorebird species. The abundance and often subtle plumage of many of these species (particularly in the winter) can also make it a frustrating group to decipher. On this trip we’ll be focusing on shorebird identification and ecology, with the goal of finding as many species as possible from the mudflats of Bolivar Flats to the freshwater marshes of Anahuac NWR.
