RARE Owl Found While Birding King Ranch!

King Ranch is one of the largest and most iconic ranches in the world, spanning 825,000 acres in South Texas. King Ranch is well known for its roots in cattle ranching, agriculture, and wildlife conservation, but is also a haven for birders, including one bird in particular: The Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. With its blend of rich history, sprawling landscapes, and abundant wildlife, King Ranch continues to be a landmark for both ranching and eco-tourism enthusiasts.
