Bird Watching in WalMart?

WalMart is not only a great place to overnight in your RV, it’s also a great place for birding. Our “low price leader” is reaching out to our feathered friends who are enjoying the fresh produce. Oops, is that a clean-up in aisle one? This female grackle perches on the rafters, then swoops down to check out the low prices. So, next time you’re in WalMart keep an eye skyward because you never know what you might see. Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

Southern Texas Is Alive With Color

We are RVing in southern Texas and have visited Bentsen State Park and the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge considered two of the prime birding locations in North America. There are many species of birds migrating through during April and your time here is well spent. The Green Jay is without doubt one of the favorite birds that may be found hanging around in these parks. If you want to see these stunningly beautiful birds in person, you'll need to come to southern Texas because it's the only place in the United States that you will likely see them. The Green Jay lives predominately in Mexico and South America. There is a 900 mile separation between the two breeding groups and some bird experts believe the Green Jays of South America are a different species. I wouldn't know because I'm only an expert on ice cream. Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing
