A Large Prairie Chicken In the State Park

The Bentsen Rio Grande Valley Texas State Park in considered a World Birding Center.  It is visited by at least 500 different bird species during the year which is more than some states can claim.  We often see visitors coming in with large sophisticated cameras and fancy binoculars to sit in the bird blinds.

Above is a type of bird that is numerous at the bird blinds and feeding stations.  It is the Chachalaca.A Chachalaca is a non-migratory gamebird that is similar in size to a female Ring-neck Pheasant.

We see them often when we ride our bikes in the state park.
