Let’s Meet!

RGVBF VOLUNTEER: KAY HANVY

I retired from government service in 2006.  My husband transferred to Ottawa, Canada where we lived for a year before retiring.  We returned to Harlingen and bought a home with natural landscaping and a Koi pond; one of the main ingredients for great bird watching. The pond is a year around magnet for hummingbirds, orioles, doves, whistling ducks, warblers, finches, cardinals, hawks, purple martins and a variety of other wildlife.  We just love our new hobby of sitting and watching the birds that come in for a bath or drink from the pond.

Volunteering for the RGV Birding Festival has been a real eye opener for me.  I didn’t realize that there were so many dedicated people of all ages and walks of life volunteering their time and determination to make this festival a success.  The Rio Grande Valley is a birding paradise that birders from everywhere need to experience.   The Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival is a must see.
