This hotspot was created for the nesting box used by Aplomado Falcons. There is a small pull-off at the side of TX-361 just south of the box which allows birders to stop and watch the box for the falcons. Out of the three nest boxes installed, this is the only one they seem to be using. When not on the platform, they can often be seen on the power lines above or flying in the area.
