Bentson Rio Grande Valley State Park is one of the premier locations to go birding in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. With plenty of rare birds to search for in the park, we made the trip to this impressive birding destination in hopes of finding two specific species: the Rose-throated Becard and the Hook-billed Kite.
