My wife and I are coming from the cold of Minnesota to the McAllen/Brownsville area in mid February and are interested in going on some organized birding walks while we are there. The days we are free to do a birding walk are Saturday or Sunday, Feb 21-22. Any suggestions on either an organized birding walk or good birding locations in that area are very WELCOME!!!

Sparrows and Thrashers especially in the prickly pear and yucca. The water was absolutely glassy providing many reflections of herons, egrets, nilgai, and landscape features. Join us for a birding tour Thursday-Monday mornings, with an added tour on Friday afternoon.
