Quinta Mazatlan in McAllen
/After our Rio Grande Pontoon adventure, we boarded our bus to head toward Quinta Mazatlán, a park that is a birding hotspot in McAllen TX. The park is expanding and there is construction associated with that; a car had to be moved to allow our bus to pass through the reduced parking lot!
The only bird photograph I took was an Inca Dove high in a tree!
There were insects – a praying mantis, a moth, a butterfly.
The pods of Texas Ebony…palm fans…trees blooming in November – looking at plants we don’t have in Missouri.
Lichen looks about the same everywhere!
Looking back at my pictures – or lack of pictures – I realized I must have been tired and just focusing on keeping up with the group!
Next time we are in the area, Quinta Mazatlán might be I place I would like to go on our own…taking our time to see things and looking at the restored adobe hacienda that is there. The expansion should be finished by then!
