Edinburg Wetlands Park is a World Birding Site.  It is also part of the town water treatment facility.  It sounds ickier than it really is.  They don’t send the water directly to the river.  Ponds retain the treated effluent and it slowly releases through surrounding wetlands.  The birds don’t seem to mind that its part of that process.  Hummingbirds darted around the thick flowering vegetation.  Butterflies too.  Egrets, heron and cormorant, Kingfishers and some really big turtles checked out the ponds.  Woodland birds and warblers flitted all around us.  We spent a beautiful morning strolling and relaxing outdoors and added four “only in Southmost Texas” birds to our list.  Check it out if you are down here.
