After we left Roma, Texas today, we decided to head over and check out the Edinburgh World Birding Center in Edinburg, Texas. The weather was a lot better there, thank goodness,
We also had a wonderful surprise when we arrived at the Birding Center - The butterflies were out in force today. We spent more time watching them than we did birding.
