Edinburg Scenic Wetlands & World Birding Center — Attraction in Edinburg

Clean bathrooms, "handicap friendly", plenty of benches along the way for those who maye be concerned of needing to take breaks, friendly staff, diaper changing station, stroller friendly! Great environment for kids, not too big compared to other parks, cozy-like Nature Center. Season pass is "dirt cheap", goes for a good cause and allows you to bring many folks along. We saw a red cardinal this past week. Planning on taking my 2 toddlers regularly for healthy sun exposure (the body requires it), exercise, and for my own sanity (lol). It helps me with my depression, wild hormones, to get outdoors and clear perspective(s) while soaking up the nature beauty. My son likes holding the map papersheet they hand out, the bird check sheet, in combo' with trails, it is like "Dora", haha! Going to bring a book(s) for us to read while they explore. Easier to learn while having fun at the same time. RGV needs rain desperately, so expect more brown than green. Anywho, I hope this...

The chacalaca was new to me--about the size of a chicken, and apparently likes to walk about, in the company of others, willing to show itself, while keeping a safe distance away. I saw mockingbirds, (either several, or one which was very energetic), a yellow rumped warbler, a bold titmouse, and a ladderback woodpecker, all while I was in one small area, and appearing almost faster than I could focus my camera to shoot photos of them.

I've ear-marked this as a birding site I definitely want to return to, when I have a few days for birding! Amazing find, right in the center of...

I recently visited the Edinburg Scenic Wetland and Birding Center for the first time, and I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. The weather was ideal - a perfect combination of breeze and overcast skies, making it just right for exploring the trails. Along the way, I was treated to the delightful sight and sounds of nature, from Chachalacas to Cardinal birds serenading me with their beautiful melodies. The variety of ducks and even water snakes added to the richness of the experience. I highly recommend this center to fellow bird enthusiasts, as well as anyone who enjoys leisurely walks or bike rides amidst stunning natural scenery. A five-star...
