Once again, it’s time for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival in Harlingen, Texas. The event, one of the best and best attended of the U.S. Birding festivals opened today and will continue to run throughout the week-end. There will be field trips to all the south valley birding hotspots, an exhibit hall packed to the walls with vendors demonstrating the latest birding gear (including the Wingscapes BirdCam, which I am representing here), birding and nature tour companies, and a line-up of superb speakers – including everyone’s favorite, Birdchick – presenting a host of birding and natural history topics.

I’ll be posting moblog posts throughout the festival so be sure to check back frequently for updates, or better yet, subscribe to the Born Again Bird Watcher feed and have them sent directly to your RSS reader of choice.

Moblogging from the Casa de Amistad in Harlingen, Texas, peace and good bird watching.
