Friday, February 24 – Busy, busy, busy…no other word for how we feel when we stay down in the Rio Grande Valley area.
On Monday, we went to Mexico…yet again…with our friends, Jane and Joe. Marsha had to go for the third of four visits to the dentist, and Jane had a dentist appointment. Once that was all taken care of we headed to Estero Llano Grande World Birding Center. Estero Llano Grande is located in Weslaco and attracts a spectacular array of South Texas wildlife with its varied landscape of shallow lake, woodlands and thorn forest. There are nine unique locations in the Rio Grande Valley. This particular one has the largest wetlands environment in the World Birding Center network.
Entrance
We didn't have much time to explore the entire Birding Center. We were only able to walk two of the many trails. We think, due to the overcast skies that many of the birds and alligators were in hiding. But we had a wonderful time watching the wildlife that was out and about.
Great Egret
White Ibis
One of the many water areas.
They have an alligator lake here in the park. We only saw two alligators.
These little guys were enjoying what ever sun would pop out ever so often.
On our way back to the car, this Northern Shoveler duck was sitting on the boardwalk.
This cute little Coot was swimming in the water next to the boardwalk.
The motley group.
Spring has sprung here in the 80+ weather.
Some of the beautiful flowers in the park.
Just thought we would throw a picture of us in so our kids remember what we look like.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day!
