We had an incredible time bird banding with Bill Clark and Rio Grande Valley Raptor Research! It was truly an honor to witness and assist with this vital work firsthand. Bird banding plays a crucial role in tracking bird life cycles, contributing to scientific research, conservation, and wildlife management.

If you’re fascinated by these fierce hunters of the sky, too, 🔻JOIN US THIS SATURDAY🔻 for a special event where Bill will share his expertise on identifying raptors. Don't miss this chance to learn from one of the best! Bill not only studies raptors—he's authored raptor field guides, has observed raptors in over 50 countries, and leads international raptor tours! 🎤 Raptor Identification: Unusual Plumages 📅 Saturday, March 15th 🕒 2–3 p.m. 📍In-store at Wild Birds Unlimited, Trenton Crossing, 7600 N. 10th Street, McAllen, Texas (between HomeGoods and PetSmart) 🌐 Details at mcallen.wbu.com/events Please LIKE AND SHARE to help spread the word to your fellow bird lovers! 🦅✨ Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts!💛🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #BirdBanding #BirdConservation

Bill is going to be teaching us about different plumages you could run across when observing hawks, falcons, and similar birds of prey, because they don't always match the guide books. 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ Plus, don't forget our HOT-PEPPER PROMO thru March 17th!

Here's one to SHARE with all the owl and nature-cam lovers in your life: The 2025 WBU Owl Cam🦉 is STREAMING LIVE at www.wbu.com/owl-cam! Tune in to follow the daily lives of a fascinating family of Barred Owls at the Indiana home of WBU founder Jim Carpenter. The Owl Cam is a partnership between WBU and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. 🦉The first egg was laid March 5th!🥚 Barred Owls typically lay 2–3 eggs per season—one egg every 2–3 days until the clutch is complete. THERE COULD BE ANOTHER EGG ANY SECOND NOW!! 🦉Keep an eye out as the male provides food for the female while she remains in the nest. 🦉The owlets will eventually hatch, grow, and prepare to fledge from the nest after four to five weeks. We don't typically see Barred Owls this deep in South Texas, but the Owl Cam is still a mesmerizing glimpse into owl life. Tune in for exciting food deliveries, hatching eggs, and heartwarming moments as the young owlets grow! Interested in supporting our local RGV owls by installing your own owl house? They're fascinating and nature's own rodent control, but natural nest sites are on the decline. Check out the Audubon Society's Screech Owl box plan: https://www.audubon.org/news/how-build-screech-owl-nest-box. Not such a DIY-er?

Meet our March Bird of the Month, the ◼️RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD!◼️ These striking birds are particularly abundant in spring here in the Rio Grande Valley. FUN FACTS ◼️ They roost in large flocks that can swell into the MILLIONS in winter! ◼️ Flocks may travel up to 50 miles a day in search of food. ◼️ The glossy black males can puff up—or hide—their scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches, reflecting their confidence. Females lack these colorful shoulder patches and are streaky brown, not black. ◼️ They are one of the most polygamous bird species, with an average of 5 females nesting in a single male's territory—as many as 15 have been recorded! ◼️ They like marshy areas, wetlands, and old agricultural fields, and males will aggressively defend their territory. ◼️ Males have a distinctive, almost electronic-sounding song that's described as "conk-la-ree!" ◼️ In California, males may lack the yellow patch on their shoulders. Learn more on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology site: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-winged_Blackbird/overview (clickable link in our bio's link tree) FEEDING TIPS ◼️ They prefer feeding on the ground, but also like platform and hopper feeders. ◼️ They especially go after cracked corn, millet, sunflower chips, and peanut pieces, but may also enjoy Bark Butter®, Bark Butter Bits, and mealworms. ◼️ If you have TOO MANY blackbirds (and/or grackles and starlings) and want to DISCOURAGE them, switch to safflower seed and tube feeders. If possible, remove the perches from tube feeders, too; small birds can cling to the seed ports, but larger birds struggle. Shop our selection of highly nutritious bird foods and quality, durable feeders: https://order.wbu.com/mcallen 🗓️ And please MARK YOUR CALENDARS for our upcoming FREE NATURE EVENTS! https://mcallen.wbu.com/events Happy birding, from the Valley's friendly backyard birding experts! ❤️ 🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas

🗓️ ✍️ MARK YOUR CALENDAR! We have a great event lined up for MARCH 15TH! Come meet and learn from WORLD-RENOWNED RAPTOR EXPERT, Bill Clark! 🦅 William "Bill" Clark bands and studies raptors, has authored raptor field guides, has observed raptors in over 50 countries, and leads international raptor tours. He is also chairman of Raptours, LLC, which specializes in guided hawk tours. @raptoursllc https://www.raptoursllc.com Bill is going to be teaching us about different plumages you could run across when observing raptors.🦅 Hawks, falcons, and similar birds of prey are some of the most majestic and thrilling birds to watch. But they don't always match the field guides, making them tricky to identify sometimes. From albino birds to those with excess pigmentation, or even birds with methane-flare burns or abnormal beaks, Bill will be walking us through this tricky aspect of raptor identification. Hope to see you there! In the meantime, TWO THINGS: 1️⃣ Hurry in—you only have a couple more days to❗GET DOUBLE POINTS✌️ ON ALL MERCHANDISE❗if you're a Daily Savings Club member!

(This is not a kids' event.) Elaine is a global development specialist and the author of "Her Butterfly Effect: When the Evergreens Blossomed Orange," an inspirational children's book about a fateful encounter between distressed monarch butterflies migrating through Mexico and a group of downtrodden farm animals. Their cooperation transforms each others lives. 2️⃣ Right after the talk, we'll be having a NATIVE PLANT SALE! 🌱 🌻 Planting natives is one way you can create local changes that ripple outward.
