Edinburg Scenic Wetlands & World Birding Center


Took a little trip yesterday to the Edinburg Scenic Wetlands which is part of the World Birding Center. Not a big park but they have done a very nice job setting aside native natural areas for the bird population.


They had some nice walk ways built out onto the water that allowed us to get a good look of birds that might be in the area.


From this advantage point we were able to see a large variety of birds.


This group includes some herons and egrets.


Another type of egret.


These little ducks are Black-sided Whistling-Ducks. They are very noisy and actually sound like they are whistling. They look like they have a little mohawk on top of their head.


As I said, it was not a big park but a pretty little green area carved out of a very arid area.
