I am at the World Birding Center at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission, Texas. It is made up of a number of sites in the Rio Grande Valley, but this is their headquarters. Cars are not allowed in the park. A tram circles the road every half hour, so you get on and off where you want. Very nice for biking and hiking. Have to get a bike!
Above is a great kiskadee, a tropical flycatcher found only in South Texas in the U.S.
An altamira oriole
Chachalaca’s. They are a chicken like bird that moves like a road runner and likes to climb up trees.
A dove and a squirrel on a bird feeder.
A mother javelina grooming her child. The tourists here love seeing the javelina, but I noticed that nearby Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge considers them a pest.
thanks these are great pictures…I really enjoyed them
