Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival<br />
RGVBF.org<br />
Situated in the middle of the Rio Grande Valley, Harlingen is the ideal location to venture from for excellent birding. Within 90<br />
minutes are dry, desert habitats to the west, and the coastal habitats are only 60 minutes to the east, with a riparian ribbon along<br />
the entire southern boundary. For 23 years running, the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival has provided thousands of birders with<br />
life birds, those they call the “RGV Specialties.” Professional tour guides lead every trip, whether bus or van, with a low participantto-guide<br />
ratio to provide excellent spotting and identification. Over 60 vendors of bird-related products can delight every level<br />
of birder at the Birders Bazaar, and their contributions to the Silent Auction make that event very exciting. They offer great birds,<br />
excellent guiding, educational seminars, rousing socials and FUN! Ask anybody who has been here before! The 24th Annual<br />
Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival begins on November 8, <strong>2017</strong> in Harlingen, Texas, and the event with be held at the Municipal<br />
Auditorium. Please visit their website for the <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2017</strong> schedule and registration information.<br />
