We have bi-passed the Port
Aransas "Birding Center" for all the years we have been coming here. Tuesday evening we walked to it as it is within half a mile from our RV Park and WOW!! We have been back so many times in the last few days....this is a swampy area that attracts all kinds of birds, plus there is even an alligator (which we haven't seen). So, I guess you can say we have become "birders". All of my
terminology or names of the birds may not be correct but we certainly enjoy seeing God's creations.....the next few posts will show some of our awesome pictures....Thanks Loyal for my upgraded camera...
Have not a clue to the name of this bird....
I know this is a duck!!!!
David, Nadine & Loyal walking on the beach....most days Loyal & Lou Ann do a three mile walk and David and Nadine do six....remember, they are younger than we are (smile)
Yellowstone co-workers, Ron & Shirley Metzer spent a week on Mustang Island and we were able to spend a couple of days with them walking on the beach and oh yes eating out!!!!

such a thing of beauty.....
Back at the birding center.....this is a landing by a while pelican
This is a reddish egret....when you enlarge it you can see the red hair
This pink birds are often mistaken for a flamigo....they nest most of the day in this dried grassy area with not a lot of activity....they apparently go elsewhere during the night and we have gotten great pictures early of a morning of them flying back to this spot....
