Fall is time for birding!

Hello everyone!

Fall is time for many bird species here in South Texas.

The Rio Grande Valley area is amazingly beautiful,

with it's hundreds of  varieties of birds,

and other wildlife.

One interesting bird that many of you may never have seen

is the

CHACHALACA.

They were everywhere at the birding center,

Quinta Mazatlan, in McAllen, Tx.

Here you can see four on the ground

and two in the tree eating oranges.

There were many more scurring around in the brush.

They  can get very loud in the mornings

with their 'cha cha lock' sounds.

They are in the shade,

and my camera is not that great,

so here is another picture of one

to show you how beautiful they are.

They are also called Mexican Pheasant.

What birds are in your area this time of year?

Savor the Day!
