The Rains Came....


Looks to me that the bird population here in South Coastal Texas are just as happy to see the September rainfall as I am!! Just a week ago, this area was bone dry! Get a week of rain and we have lakes and ponds and runoff again....they love it!!






Just this one area in Port Aransas Texas and only minutes after arrival, I sighted in on Egrets, Herons, Ibis, Stilts, Spoonbills. And, only a few minutes' walk from this spot, at the intended destination, I saw, Yellowlegs, Cormorants, Black Crowned Night Herons, Skimmers, and MORE of the same seen above. Oh, and ONE alligator. I think it was feeding on something while partially hidden in the reed...it was rolling over and over....isn't that the habitual ritual?

    Hello, Anni! Looks like the birds are all gathered there in one spot. It reminds me of a park we visited in Florida. What a beautiful variety of waders and birds. Great photos. Thanks for hosting. Have a happy day and weekend.

    I was wondering if you had gotten too much rain out of this latest storm. I'm glad you are ok! Love the Spoonbills...they are my favorite and one we rarely see in the wild! Enjoy your weekend!

    Oh, what fun your day must have been. The first shot is fantastic, and the last shot leaves me laughing. I see no one else made a comment, but it looks like it has a head at both ends! Do you see what I am talking about--if you just focus on the one bird
