Hannah and Erik visit a favorite region - the Rio Grande Valley.  There is so much to see and lots to do when visiting this incredible birding spot.  They compete in the Great Texas Birding Classic Big Sit competition in partnership with The Birding Co-op and manage to see many species...but weren't able to list an Ovenbird!
