Did you know that Rio Grande Valley observers have made over 35,000 observations of plants during the City Nature Challenge? Those observations give us a snapshot of where species live in the area, whether they're blooming or not, and sometimes document species that are not well-known in the area! If you're looking for cool spots to check out RGV plants, check out our RGV Nature Sites map at our website (link below). quintamazatlan.com/birding-nature (click on the map at the bottom).
