Birding the National Butterfly Center in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas 

South Texas is home to some of the top birding hotspots in the nation. One of these hotspots, the National Butterfly Center, normally hosts a few rarities including Audubon's Orioles, Groove-billed Anis, and Northern Beardless Tyrannulets. We met up with our friend Ryan Rodriguez in order to try to find some of the birds.
