If you didn’t know, even during the chilly winter months of the year El Paso and its rich surrounding area is an oasis for rare and stunning birds of all shapes and forms.

El Paso just so happens to be a pit stop on the migratory path of many of America’s most ravishing beasts of fowl. Here are a few of the basics of Birding (the art of bird watching) to help you take in the dazzling sights and sounds of March’s feathered guests.
