Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival 2019

Written By Virginia Rose
Happy fall! I wanted to alert everyone about the upcoming Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, taking place November 6-10 in Harlingen, Texas.

Once again the Festival is offering mobility-challenged bird walks, and I am so excited to lead those walks. If you have never been to the Rio Grande Valley to bird, you must go! It is a beautiful place, with several very accessible venues and lots of amazing birds, such as Altamira oriole, great kiskadee, green jay, plain chachalaca, and others.

See the Rio Grande Valley birding Festival website and sign up for Mobility-challenged walks.

If you have any questions at all about the Festival, please don't hesitate to call or text me at 512-461-6920 or email me at info@birdability.com.

I know you will enjoy it. Please come!

Virginia fell off a horse at the age of 14 which resulted in a spinal cord injury. A wheelchair user ever since, she began birding 17 years ago and discovered her best self in nature. She has led bird outings for Travis Audubon for seven years, and leads the accessible outings for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival each year.

As a retired high school English teacher, she is passionate about bringing the same joy of birding and nature to others who have mobility or other accessibility challenges. Her infectious positive attitude is the force behind Birdability.
