For the month of February, we are staying at 1015 RV Park in Weslaco, Texas. We are a mile and a half north of Estero Llano Grande State Park and World Birding Center. This is a great place to spend time and we have been there at least 8 times in the last two weeks. We have also gone to several other birding areas but those will have to wait until the next blog.

We are enjoying a very warm winter, especially compared to "you all" up north.
