Spring Birding in the RGV

We talk about the Rio Grande Valley a lot - we know!  But that is because it one of our favorite spots to go and every trip is different.  This time we saw a lifer and tested out a new boat trip on the Rio Grande river while guiding at the Spring Chirp birding festival! 

Adventure begins at: 11:10
