Forest Bathing or Shinrin –Yoku is a practice that originated in Japan in the early 1980s. The practice was developed in response to the effects of the technological boom on people’s quality of life, aiming to reduce burnout, stress and reconnect people with nature. Engaging with our environment through multiple senses not only expands our ability to be present, but nurtures our relationship to the land and to each other.🍃✨ Explore Forest Bathing with a Relational Forest Therapy Guide, Thursday August 21st, 6:00pm to 7:00pm. #mcallenevents #shinrinyoku #healthandwellness #quintamazatlan #relationalforesttherapy

☀️ It might still feel like the height of summer, but some of our migratory birds are already on the move! 🐦✨ We're starting to see the return of a few early travelers here in the Rio Grande Valley — so now’s a great time to dust off those binoculars, keep your feeders fresh and filled, and offer a clean water source for our feathered visitors. Providing safe places to rest and refuel can make all the difference on their journey! 🔍 Keep an eye (and ear!) out for these early arrivals: 🌿 Yellow-breasted Chat – A tricky one to spot! These birds prefer dense thickets, but you might hear their bold, varied songs before you see them. 🌳 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher – These tiny, energetic birds flit through trees with their long tails. They lose their “angry unibrow” outside of breeding season, so they’ll look a bit more subtle right now. 🌼 Yellow Warbler – Insect-lovers through and through, they thrive where native plants support healthy insect life. Their cheerful song sounds like: “sweet sweet sweet, I’m so sweet!” Keep your eyes peeled and share what you spot — we love hearing about your sightings! 📸🐥 Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding specialists! 💛🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas

Help Birds Survive the Heat ☀️🐦 In these hot conditions 🔥, you’ll be doing both yourself and your backyard birds 🏡🐥 a big favor by providing a consistent source of water 🚰💙. Water is essential for all birds 🌎🕊️ — whether they visit feeders or not. It’s one of the simplest and most important ways to attract a wider variety of birds to your yard. Besides being crucial for their survival, water also gives you the chance to enjoy their entertaining behavior as they drink, bathe, and preen. 🌿🌼🐦 But beyond the enjoyment, water can be a matter of life or death. Birds need to keep their feathers in top condition to fly, and bathing plays a key role in that. During extreme heat 🌡️, birds can’t sweat — they cool down by panting, which dehydrates them quickly 💦. That’s why a bird bath, fountain, or mister isn't just fun to watch — it could be a lifesaver 🆘🕊️. Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding specialists! 💛🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas

🎨 This week in art class, our young artists studied the bold and beautiful macaw—known for its vibrant feathers and striking presence. They explored color blending, feather textures, and how to bring this tropical bird to life on paper. I was happy to hear them say, texture as they added oil pastels to the tempera paint.
