You might still catch some of the nesting birds if you get a window of opportunity. By the time I left San Padre I had increased my bird life list by 32 species! So much fun to learn these new birds and get more comfortable with knowing what I saw, and when I see it again, I know what I'm looking at! That is the best part.
