Texas prime fall location for birding

HARLINGEN, Texas — The temperatures are dropping, and that means birds are heading south. One of the best places to watch the migration spectacle is in the southern tip of Texas during the 15th annual Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, Nov. 5-9.

The event includes guided field trips, seminars and workshops, and children’s activities. Participants range from expert ornithologists to avid amateur birdwatchers to beginners.

"If you are an advanced birder in search of a specific species or simply would like to introduce your child to the sport of birding, the RGV Birding Festival has something for you,” Tom Pincelli, a founder of the festival, said in a statement.

The festival concludes with two trips for those who want to continue with their birdwatching outside the U.S.: a 14-day birding trip to the tropics of Ecuador, or a five-day birding trip to a biosphere reserve in Mexico.
