McAllen Habitat Tours
In 2010 one of the great controversies in McAllen City Limits but which generated interest throughout the Valley, the State and the Nation was the proposal to convert the closed McAllen Nature Center also known as the Botanical Gardens into a world class tennis center at the expense of what renowned biologists and botanists called a heritage forest. the ballot initiative failed and the city then set on a course of moving to renovate and open the gardens. On this tour sponsored by the city of McAllen, Mary Thorne of the Quinta Mazatlan conducts a tour of the Botanical Gardens.
In the first part of the video Botanist Sue Sill conducts a drawing session at the Keppler Property, a little known city property of twenty-three acres that includes a three acre lake.

Chachalacas of South Texas - 4k video
The Plain Chachalaca are birds from the genus Ortalis. These birds are found in wooded habitats in Central Mexico and South America. They reach the United States only in South Texas. They travel in packs of six to twelve.
This native, non-migratory gamebird is similar in size and form to a female Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) and is named for the raucous, ear-splitting chorus a flock makes.
