Have you heard of the Valley’s native bats and their unique connection to one of our most iconic native trees: The Sabal Palm? 🦇🌴🦇Join Josue Ayala, to learn how bats contribute immensely to the health of the region’s habitats and practical ways for families and gardeners to make their own spaces more bat-friendly.🌼✨ Ayala’s love for nature was sparked by the landscapes of the RGV and deepened through his participation in the Texas Master Naturalist program. Though his career began in social work, he now blends his passion for community and conservation as the Vice President of the Native Plant Project and an Environmental Education Specialist at Quinta Mazatlán, where he helps people of all ages connect with the wild spaces around them. #southtexasecology #thursdaynightlive #quintamazatlan #mcallenevents

Today we enjoyed the beautiful sight (and smell) of a Texas Ebony tree planted at Sam Houston Elementary School. It was planted in 2024 as part of a 10,000 square foot Tiny Forest; thanks to the leadership and care of Principal Jessica Lowe and the school staff, it is blooming and thriving. In just a few minutes of visiting the Tiny Forest, we saw butterflies, hummingbirds, and multitudes of flowers. This is just one example of how Quinta Mazatlan works with partners to advance environmental education, eco-tourism, and the environment for the health of all.

Did you know feathers are more than 90% protein?🪶🪶 🪶🤯 So growing new feathers—which a lot of adult songbirds are doing right now—demands a lot of protein, as well as fats. Most adult songbirds molt (change feathers) once a year, usually after nesting season. Worn feathers drop away and fresh ones emerge. You can make a difference by keeping your feeders full of high-fat, high-protein foods, such as our No-Mess Blends, peanuts, sunflower chips, mealworms, finch blends, and no-melt suets. These essential building blocks will help your birds maintain their health (and good looks!) throughout the molt. Keep your eyes peeled for these American Goldfinches in the coming months, as some come to overwinter in the Rio Grande Valley. 🎤🗓️ And don't miss the great FREE TALK THIS SATURDAY the 23rd with well-known local native plant expert Anita Westervelt! She'll teach us about the 12 native plants sure to bring HUMMINGBIRDS to your yard! 🌺 Be sure to stay after for our popular NATIVE PLANT SALE! 🛒🌻🌿 Details: https://www.facebook.com/wbumcallen/events https://mcallen.wbu.com/events Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 Featured Bird: American Goldfinches WBU Food: Finch Blend Feeder: Quick-Clean™ Medium Finch Feeder (Yellow) #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening
