Welcome to my world!

Backyard Birding in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas:
Surrounded by great birding destinations, our favorite patch is still the backyard (or the front), where we've seen more than 270 species of birds. Sit awhile, and watch the river and yard with us!

Merry Christmas from the Arroyo Colorado


We may not have snowy Christmases in South Texas, but our holiday season brings its own joys. 
 Bougainvillea is at its most beautiful.



White-tailed Kites bask in the winter sun.


Green Jays stop by feeders to eat peanuts and citrus.

Monarch butterflies and colorful bougainvillea are as  bright as holiday ornaments. 


While we enjoy family and food and holiday traditions, we continue to marvel at the beauty around us.  

May your holidays be warm and wonderful!
