You’re invited to Quinta Mazatlan’s Pledge to Fledge Bird Sit. Visitors are welcome to bird watch with our knowledgeable staff for as long as they please; it’s a Bird Day for everyone, and a great way to get out and enjoy some of the Valley’s wonderful birds!
The event will take place at our Discovery Center Patio, a shaded patio that overlooks lush gardens, a trickling water feature, and our vibrant Ruby Pond. Pledge to Fledge is an International grassroots campaign to introduce people to the exhilarating world of birds, and people of all ages are invited!
Participants will be able to leisurely watch birds with a local birder for as long as they please, being comfortably introduced to some of the Rio Grande Valley’s spectacular bird life.
Visitors will get acquainted with local birds like Great Kiskadee, Clay-colored Thrush, and Plain Chachalaca, as well as some of the many migrating birds like warblers, hummingbirds, and buntings that pass through the Valley annually. At the end of the day, we will tally all the birds that we saw and enter them onto eBird!
Binoculars and field guides will be provided for those attending Birder’s Day, but participants are welcome to bring their own binoculars, guides and cameras as they desire. Feel free to bring out a packed lunch and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere while watching birds at the same time!
General Admission: $2/adult, $1/child or senior.
