It's good to move slow and look close when you're visiting Quinta Mazatlan. Did you know more than 1,000 species have been reported from the park? These are just a few of the recent observations - read below for names and notes! 1. Eastern Screech-Owl. This is a nestling bird, told by its less defined plumage, peeking out from its nest cavity in a dead palm tree. 2. Gulf Fritillary (caterpillar). These spikey beauties feast on passionflowers (plants in the genus passiflora). 3. Spot-tailed Dasher. These beautiful turquoise-eyed dragonflies are mostly found in south Texas and Florida in the US. 4. Berlandier's Fiddlewood. These large shrubs bloom and fruit profusely, and are a favorite of pollinating insects and frugivorous birds. 5. Crooked-legged Bee. These species in the genus Ancyloscelis get their name because of their distinctly crooked legs. They tend to prefer tubular flowers like morning glories, such as this Alamo Vine (Distimake dissectus).

Hey y’all… Finally found time to reminisce over the beginning of pride weekend. And on behalf of the Pecado family, we freaking love you guys, forrreeeaalll. ❤️ There are times when spaces like ours can’t exist without a fight. Spaces where queens could be queens, where lovers could be lovers, where lost ones could be found. Spaces where the most holy rules are “tip the drag performers” and “don’t walk across the f*cking stage while someone’s performing.” It’s an honor to be able to work in those spaces and represent the legacy of those who fought for our pride. Each weekend hits us sweaty little bar staffers differently, but there are times we find ourselves with a moment to breathe and look out and witness the magic in the crowds... the web of love on the dance floor, the string of passion between two pairs of eyes, the screams in unison when old friends collide 😾❤️‍🔥 you guys r so cute 🥰 You have no idea how much we wish we could share the fun on the same side as you all. (It’s excruciating sometimes.) But at the end of each night, we’re laughing, we’re kissing and hugging each other goodbye, because it’s hard to have a bad night when you know you’ve worked hard for something so beautiful. Memories are made each night at Pecado and our fellow beloved queer-forward spaces in McAllen. Thank you to our promoters, non profit organizations, staff and everyone that believes in this space we have created for our community called Pecado. From the bottom of our heart, we love you all. Thank you for making RGV magical! Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

🌿 Found a Baby Bird? Here’s What to Do! 🐣 It’s that time of year when fledglings and nestlings start showing up in our yards—and it can be hard to tell if they need help or are just going through a natural stage of growing up. Before stepping in, it’s important to assess the situation carefully. We’re sharing two helpful flow charts to guide you: 🔹 The first is from the National Audubon Society—a fantastic resource to walk you through what to look for. Thank you, Audubon, for this clear and compassionate tool! 🔹 The second is from the book Healers of the Wild: People Who Care for Injured and Orphaned Wildlife by Shannon K. Jacobs (1997). Even decades later, its advice is still helpful and heartwarming. 📍 Local Note on Wildlife Rehab in the RGV: Currently, there are no wildlife rehabilitators operating in Hidalgo County, but there are a few in neighboring counties: two in Cameron and one in Zapata. You can find the full list of licensed rehabbers here: 👉 https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/rehab/list/ Texas Parks & Wildlife Wildlife Rehabilitators by County Thank you for caring about the wild birds in our community! 💚 Every act of awareness helps protect the beautiful wildlife we share our world with.

Whether it’s the whirlwind of energy from a hummingbird or the vibrant beauty of orioles, your outdoor space here in the Rio Grande Valley can be a haven for some of N. America’s most fascinating bird species! We can help you turn your backyard into a bird paradise, buzzing with life! Stop in to see our full range of hummingbird and oriole feeders, including some beautiful blown glass options. Both hummingbirds and orioles will eat a nectar solution, though orioles are partial to orange slices, grape jelly, and mealworms. For nectar, use a high-quality nectar like ours: https://order.wbu.com/mcallen/bird-food/nectar-jelly/hummingbird-oriole-nectar. Or if you have time, MAKE YOUR OWN NECTAR: 🌺 Dissolve 1 part white table sugar into 4 parts hot water. Cool before using, then refrigerate the rest for up to a week or so. Don't add red dye (natural nectar is clear) or extra sugar, and don't use honey, raw sugar or sugar substitutes. 🌺 Replace the nectar in your feeders every couple of days to prevent bacteria and mold. Or try our Feeder Fresh™ Nectar Defender™, which contains a bird-safe mineral micronutrient that stops spoilage and helps nectar last for weeks. And if you can, 🌿 ADD NATIVE PLANTS TO YOUR YARD, 🌿 especially those with red and orange tubular flowers. Examples include Salvia (Mealy-Cup or Blue Sage [Salvia farinacea]; Autumn Sage [Salvia greggii]; and Scarlet Sage [Salvia coccinea]), Drummond's Turk's Cap, Tropical Sage, and Texas Lantana. Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 Featured Bird: Female Hummingbird WBU Feeder: Pagoda High Perch™ Hummingbird Feeder #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening
