In October, we see many birds slowly making their way south as they migrate. While some are just visiting, others will spend their winter here in the RGV. These birds are our Winter residents, birds that will stay in the Valley over the Winter season. On our last walk, notable sightings included a Peregrine Falcon and all our colorful native birds, like Green Jays and Great Kiskadees. Join a guide to see what birds Fall Migration brings in. 🍂Saturday October 3 💛8:30am - 10:00am ✨Included with General Park Admission #rgvbirding #fallmigration #quintamazatlan #exploremcallen
