  • This fascinating plain chachalaca was found and photographed in the Rio Grande Valley in Hidalgo County with a number of others of its kind one the ground and in the mesquite trees. At the northern tip of its range, this large upland game bird can be found from the southern tip of Texas, throughout Mexico and south to Central America. Noisy as other members of the galliform family (turkeys, chickens, pheasants, grouse, etc.), the name chachalaca means "chatterbox" - a fitting name!

  • Common across most of the United states except for the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountains states, the American snout (all known as the common snout) is a master of camouflage with its squared-off wings and long "nose" resembling a leaf stem or twig. This member of the brushfoots family of butterflies is usually associated with its larval host plant, hackberry trees. This one was one of many found darting around the trees near a dry creek near the Rio Grand in the extreme southern part of Texas in Hidalgo County.
