All right, I am realizing there are a lot of bird people here, so here's a photo from a trip to Texas about a year ago. See what kind of reach this gets.

Texas’ southern Rio Grande Valley was awash in sightings of a monstrous winged creature dubbed the Big Bird in the 1970s.

Wealthy Texas Ranchers and conservationists don’t want a wall at #BigBendNationalPark. Trump is considering a high tech fence instead.

Where were these people when Chump planned for a wall in the #RioGrandeValley, affecting the #NationalButterflyCenter, and other nature and wildlife centers ⁉️

The National Butterfly Center just joined Blue Sky. A great place to find #spiders if you visit the #RioGrandeValley in #SouthTexas.

We heard BlueSky was great, and it has a blue butterfly as their logo. It feels right 🦋
