Right On the Border, Another RGV World Birding Center
Old Hidalgo Pumphouse Museum and World Birding Center的点评
点评:This place did not have as many birds as a lot of the others. We know timing is everything. There were several Kiskadees here. The grounds were surrounding the remnants of some Rio Grande water that used to flow through this area. It is our understanding the river has changed its course in recent times. The pumphouse was interesting for a quick look. You can see the large stack that used to spew the steam and the large wheels that powered the engines. There is also a video to watch to better understand the operations of this pumphouse.
We hiked around the lake and the grounds. This place had the largest amount of Border Control on it that we had seen. Several trucks and guards set up at two locations.
This place is worth a couple hours of your time just to understand the area better. It was interesting to see the wall, border patrol, border crossing in the distance and the pumphouse. The grounds seemed to be an after thought for us here. There are better places in the region to see birds but it is a free stop so it does not hurt to come see what are on the grounds when you are here.
翻译:这个地方没有其他地方那么多的鸟。我们知道时机就是一切。这里有几个 Kiskadees。场地周围是一些曾经流经该地区的格兰德河水的残余物。据我们了解,这条河最近改道了。快速浏览泵房很有趣。您可以看到用来喷出蒸汽的大烟囱和为发动机提供动力的大轮子。还有一个视频可供观看,以更好地了解这个泵房的运作。
我们在湖泊和场地周围徒步旅行。这个地方有我们见过的最多的边境管制。在两个地点设置了几辆卡车和警卫。
这个地方值得您花费几个小时的时间来更好地了解该地区。看到隔离墙、边境巡逻队、远处的边境口岸和泵房很有趣。理由似乎是我们在这里的事后考虑。该地区有更好的地方可以看到鸟类,但这是一个免费的停留点,所以当您在这里时来看看地面上的东西并没有什么坏处。
