A big shout out to the RGV's American Forests team for the amazing work they're doing to help bring back the Valley's native thornforest! Erica from Wild Birds Unlimited recently joined in the "Sow It Begins" event to help sow over 14,000 native seeds. What a great way to celebrate Earth Day! 🥰 🌎 Check out more photos in the original post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJAJCbkxkoS/ (clickable link in our bio's link tree). Did you know the Rio Grande Valley has one of the most biodiverse landscapes in North America? Our native woody scrub (aka, Tamaulipan thornforest) houses over 1,000 different types of plants, over 500 different birds, and over 300 different butterflies. Not to mention many threatened or endangered wildlife species. But only a tiny fraction of our original thornforest remains!

Results are in for last week's hummingbird Facebook poll!📊 Thanks to everyone who responded! OVER HALF of you SAID YES, you have noticed some migratory hummingbirds, like Ruby-throated and Black-chinned Hummingbirds, hanging around the RGV all year now. Does this mean you should stop feeding? No! Putting out nectar actually gives hummingbirds the best chance to migrate, because hummers need to build up and maintain a high level of fat to be able to fly long distances. Instead, experts tend to point to factors like widespread use of non-native flowering plants and climate change that could be influencing hummingbird migration. Also, sometimes a hummer that seems like it's overwintering could actually just be a straggler that's late to set off—or even an unusual species that has "drifted" into the area. Check out https://mcallen.wbu.com/bird-of-the-month for more fun facts and feeding tips for the Ruby-throated Hummingbird—our April Bird of the Month! And don't miss our next great NATURE TALKS! Both will be followed by NATIVE PLANT SALES!🌿🌻 🗓️ MAY 3rd, 10–11pm: FREE Nature Talk🎤 "Wake Up and Smell the Conservation: How to Choose Coffee that Helps Farmers and RGV Birds" We'll have Kelly Smith from the American Birding Association in to tell us how choosing shade-grown, organic Bird Friendly® certified coffee works to support conservation efforts.

We ❤️ the Earth's amazing wildlife and ecosystems, and we know you do, too! This Earth Day, let’s give back to nature by creating spaces that support our feathered friends. From planting native plants to choosing Bird Friendly® certified coffee to cleaning your feeders, every small action helps! 🌎🐦 And why not celebrate at a Valley event, like the Quinta Mazatlan World Birding Center Monarch Fest on the 26th? Admission is free if you bring in a plastic bag or bottle for recycling. Please stop by our booth to say hi and tell us about the birds you're seeing! Details at https://www.facebook.com/events/4203593073195757 @quintamazatlan Learn more about what YOU can do—and meet your fellow RGV nature lovers—at one of our many GREAT IN-STORE EVENTS! 🗓️ THIS WEEKEND: Want to expand your support of Valley birds or share the joy of bird feeding? Then don't miss our Fill-A-Bag event on the 26th and 27th, and get 20% OFF EVERYTHING YOU CAN FIT IN OUR SHOPPING BAG! (Some exclusions apply.) It's a great time to pick up a new feeder or find a gift for Mother's Day! 🗓️ MAY 3rd, 2–3pm: FREE Nature Talk "Wake Up and Smell the Conservation: How to Choose Coffee that Helps Farmers and RGV Birds" We'll have Kelly Smith from the American Birding Association in to tell us how choosing shade-grown, organic Bird Friendly® certified coffee works to support conservation efforts. This doesn't just benefit exotic species—many of the birds we enjoy here in the Valley depend on habitats around Central American coffee farms in their winter migration! There'll be a FREE COFFEE TASTING, too! 🗓️ MAY 10th, 2–3pm: FREE Nature Talk "Turn Your Yard into a Bird Paradise Using Native Plants" Learn how to attract a diversity of birds by using multi-dimensional landscaping: creating a well-rounded native plant habitat in your yard.
