Life is good when you can walk in the beautiful sun while enjoying both songbirds and water birds alike! I have to drive all the way out to White Rock Lake in Dallas Texas for such an experience. But today, I birded at Mitchell Lake Audubon Center hidden away in South San Antonio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A majority of the trails at Mitchell Lake Audubon Center are really built for cars, which I found kind of odd. One would think we\u2019d want to save the birds the hassle of breathing in exhaust fumes while doing everything in their power to survive. So dodging cars was new for me. But, this birder endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
