The Rio Grande Valley is one of the premier birding destinations in the United States, with a diverse group of birds and other wildlife that can only be found in this one region. Every fall, the birders attend the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival to see some of these species for themselves. Learn what it's like to go to the festival, and about some of the cool species we saw there. Thanks to everyone who was involved with the creation of the video!
In 2024 the festival will be held from November 6-10th. More info here: www.rgvbf.org/
