Visits
- 2025-02-25: We arrived in the area to look for the Dupont's Lark and others, but the weather was not really cooperating as there were high winds. We looked around for a long time for the lark. Then, we came back after a late lunch to not find it again.
- 2025-02-26: We gave it another try in the morning, but the lark was nowhere to be found.
