This series of water polishing ponds for the Weslaco wastewater treatment plant offers a splendid opportunity to view waterbirds (Least Grebe, Anhinga, Black-bellied and Fulvous whistling-ducks, migrant ducks, herons, and egrets) in this portion of the Valley. The levees of these ponds have become vegetated with willows and mesquites, so landbirds such as Vermilion Flycatcher, Great Kiskadee, and Couch's Kingbird are fairly easy to see. The combination of willows and freshwater makes this site one of the Valley's best locations for migrating neotropical landbirds.
