OK, POP QUIZ for all the bird nerds! 🤓 ❓ What's an IRRUPTION? ❓ And do you know why experts are predicting the best winter FINCH IRRUPTION in five years?! Don't worry, we aren't suddenly going to be seeing fountains of molten birds—it's not that kind of eruption. 🐦🌋🙃 An irruption is a sudden forced migration of animals, often due to food-supply fluctuations. This winter, slim pickings in Canadian forests are likely to drive finches elsewhere in search of food. It remains to be seen if we'll get more finches this far south in the Valley, but we could get "lucky" (though not so much from the birds' POV)! Either way, it's a fascinating phenomenon! To learn more, listen in on the latest #NatureCentered Podcast . 🎙️ 🎧 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts or on our website: https://mcallen.wbu.com/nature-centered-onewbu For an even deeper dive, check out the The Finchmasters - Finch Research Network Winter Finch Forecast: https://finchnetwork.org/winter-finch-forecast-2025-2026 Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 #NatureCentered #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening

On Veterans Day, we give special thanks to the members of our armed services, whose self-sacrifice and bravery help keep us all safe.🇺🇸 At WBU McAllen, 🎗️veterans enjoy 15% off non-food items ALL YEAR LONG.*🎗️ THANK YOU! FUN FACTS ABOUT BALD EAGLES Did you know the majestic Bald Eagle🦅 has been a symbol of American might since 1782, when it was adopted as our national emblem? By the 1960s, though, habitat destruction, hunting, and pesticides had nearly driven Bald Eagles to extinction, with only about 400 breeding pairs left in the continental U.S. But instead of a tragedy, the Bald Eagle is a conservation success story! Federal protections and pesticide regulations have succeeded in helping them rebound, and they're no longer considered threatened!👏 👏 👏 Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 Featured Bird: Bald Eagle** * Discount does not apply to DSC membership fee, sale items, gift cards, smart feeders/devices, optics, or Purple Martin systems. ** Featured Birds may include species from across the USA, not just those seen in Texas' Rio Grande Valley. #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening

🗓️ Have you marked your calendars for next Saturday, November 15th? 🗓️ We're super excited for a very special event: a FREE FILM SCREENING and a chance to MEET THE LOCAL FILMMAKERS! 🎥 Come watch "ANCIENT LANDSCAPES OF SOUTH TEXAS: Hiding in Plain Sight" together with your fellow nature lovers. It's a short documentary about the remarkable history behind the Lower Rio Grande Valley's natural landscapes and the clues left behind: ancient beaches and drowned shorelines, evidence of a large volcanic eruption that changed Earth’s climate, shifting sand, giant oysters and mammoths, petrified forests and thousand-year-old living trees, tiny zircon crystals, and a mighty river. This landscape shaped the lives of the Valley's earliest humans, and we're reshaping the landscape and its ecosystems today. The wonderful educators from UTRGV's Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools Program (Utrgv Chaps) are going to be in-store to introduce their film. CHAPS is a consortium of anthropologists and archaeologists, biologists, historians, geologists, and geoarchaeologists. We can't wait! 🟠 Refreshments provided. 🟠 Book signing after the film. (The companion book will be available for sale.) 🟠 Plus, a NATIVE PLANT SALE! 🛒🌻🌿 🌐 Learn more about the filmmakers, the CHAPS program, and more details at www.facebook.com/wbumcallen/events and mcallen.wbu.com/events Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening

Happy TEXAS Arbor Day, y'all!🌳 National Arbor Day was back in April, but Fall is actually a better time to plant trees in Texas, generally speaking. Way down here in the RGV, though, we can actually push that right into winter! If you're planting trees, natives are the way to go. They're critical for our native birds. Plus, they're typically better suited to local temps and pests, and often require less water. And they're beautiful, too! See our resources page for some RGV nurseries that specialize in natives: https://mcallen.wbu.com/local-birding-and-nature-resources Here's a tree planting guide from Texas A&M: https://texastreeplanting.tamu.edu And don't miss McAllen's Arbor Day celebration on the 8th. It's a great FREE family event with music, educational booths, and tree workshops, plus, you get to take home a free native tree! See Keep McAllen Beautiful's website for details.
