Birding at the National Butterfly Center

We were getting to feel a bit house bound so we decided to head over to Mission and wander the butterfly grounds. I had heard that the Grooved Billed Anis were at the Center but today they weren't there. They've been there for a week so I hope they just haven't moved on. We only saw one other person at the center today other than workers so it was pretty safe. It was pretty warm out that is for sure.



There are a lot of trails at the National Butterfly Center and so it is a wonderful place to see both butterflies and birds!
