Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival

The premier festival for beginners and advanced birders. This year's top speakers include Mark Obamscik, author of THE BIG YEAR and Ken Kaufman, author of KINGBIRD HIGHWAY. Come chacha with the chachalacas and stroll down the aisles of the well-rounded trade show. Famous parks and refuges for field trips, seminars and workshops, author signings, social hours and the BIG SIT make this one a hit.

Dates of the Festival are 9-13 November, 2011. See the website at www.rgvbf.org for a full offering of events and to register for your top choices.
