The Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival has a well-deserved reputation as one of North America’s premier birdwatching events. Great birds, great people, great hospitality—the RGVBF has it all. The “nature” of the festival organizers is to make sure that all attendees have an enjoyable experience—and that’s what makes this event so special and successful. I look forward to it every year!
