点评:There are a couple of places we noted had the designation of World Birding Center in Harlingen. There was a place called the Harlingen Thicket WBC but there is also the Hugh Ramsey Nature Center. Both of these spots touted their World Birding Center designation. They are both unique spots to observe wild life and birds. We enjoyed the Hugh Ramsey Nature Center more. It seemed to be wilder and less in the middel of the city. The Thicket has walking paths that turn into paved paths and has the more mountain biker feel.
Both places were good to observe wildlife. The Thicket we saw several javelinas and observed only a few birds (time of year could be a factor). Hugh Ramsey we again saw only a few birds but it felt much wilder.
It is great that the local communities in the RGV have embraced this aspect of providing spots for migrating birds to find a haven for their brief respite through the area both south bound and north bound. It is also a very pleasant way to get some exercise for a hike in the outdoors.
We enjoyed both of these WBCs in Harlingen..whichever one lays the claim to this designation.
翻译:我们注意到有几个地方被指定为哈林根的世界观鸟中心。有一个叫做 Harlingen Thicket WBC 的地方,但也有 Hugh Ramsey 自然中心。这两个景点都宣传了他们的世界观鸟中心称号。它们都是观察野生动物和鸟类的独特地点。我们更喜欢休·拉姆齐自然中心。在城市的中心,它似乎更加荒凉。 Thicket 的人行道变成了铺砌的小路,更有山地车手的感觉。
这两个地方都很适合观察野生动物。 Thicket 我们看到了几只标枪,但只观察到几只鸟(一年中的时间可能是一个因素)。 Hugh Ramsey 我们再次只看到了几只鸟,但感觉更加狂野。
很棒的是,RGV 的当地社区已经接受了为候鸟提供地点的这一方面,以便为它们在南行和北行的地区短暂休息找到一个避风港。这也是在户外远足锻炼身体的一种非常愉快的方式。
我们在 Harlingen 享受了这两种 WBC。
