The Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park is called a World Birding Center for good reason. It is a winter retreat for many birds and along the migration route for many more. The park has numerous bird feeder stations and bird blinds for visitors to sit and watch which feathered creature shows up.
If you look closely at the picture above you can find two Green Jays. They are a bright, greenish Jay related to our more dull Blue Jays up north.
On our first bike ride into the park we also saw an Altamira Oriole but we were not quick enough to snap a photo. It is a brilliant orange bird closely resembling our Northern (or Baltimore) Orioles back in Michigan.
