OK, POP QUIZ for all the bird nerds! 🤓 ❓ What's an IRRUPTION? ❓ And do you know why experts are predicting the best winter FINCH IRRUPTION in five years?! Don't worry, we aren't suddenly going to be seeing fountains of molten birds—it's not that kind of eruption. 🐦🌋🙃 An irruption is a sudden forced migration of animals, often due to food-supply fluctuations. This winter, slim pickings in Canadian forests are likely to drive finches elsewhere in search of food. It remains to be seen if we'll get more finches this far south in the Valley, but we could get "lucky" (though not so much from the birds' POV)! Either way, it's a fascinating phenomenon! To learn more, listen in on the latest #NatureCentered Podcast . 🎙️ 🎧 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts or on our website: https://mcallen.wbu.com/nature-centered-onewbu For an even deeper dive, check out the The Finchmasters - Finch Research Network Winter Finch Forecast: https://finchnetwork.org/winter-finch-forecast-2025-2026 Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 #NatureCentered #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening

On Veterans Day, we give special thanks to the members of our armed services, whose self-sacrifice and bravery help keep us all safe.🇺🇸 At WBU McAllen, 🎗️veterans enjoy 15% off non-food items ALL YEAR LONG.*🎗️ THANK YOU! FUN FACTS ABOUT BALD EAGLES Did you know the majestic Bald Eagle🦅 has been a symbol of American might since 1782, when it was adopted as our national emblem? By the 1960s, though, habitat destruction, hunting, and pesticides had nearly driven Bald Eagles to extinction, with only about 400 breeding pairs left in the continental U.S. But instead of a tragedy, the Bald Eagle is a conservation success story! Federal protections and pesticide regulations have succeeded in helping them rebound, and they're no longer considered threatened!👏 👏 👏 Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 Featured Bird: Bald Eagle** * Discount does not apply to DSC membership fee, sale items, gift cards, smart feeders/devices, optics, or Purple Martin systems. ** Featured Birds may include species from across the USA, not just those seen in Texas' Rio Grande Valley. #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening
