Early Migration.

Appears that the hummingbirds got an early start north this year. Clicky.

For those TX snowbirds that are also mobile RV'ers (and thinking about leaving the Valley) Hill Country has 70's and the wild flowers are just starting to show up in clumps. Spring came early, appears the hummingbirds might just be onto something. Does look like the parks are filling up already, so call ahead.

    I'm not advocating rushing home, but a nice controlled flight north. If you do it right you can mostly ride spring weather all the way north like a surfer on a wave. About 400 miles south of the boarder it all goes bad, then the mad dash will have to happen.

    Lots of fun seeing new places and meeting new people when you vacation your way north like a true snowbird.

  • We are just approaching the best time of the year here in the Valley.
  • The Winter Texans arrived in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas late and are leaving early. The most common complaint? Too darn warm. I don't think we had ten cool/cold days all winter. We peaked about a month ago with about eighty percent occupancy.
