Pat told me to stick my head in. I had no idea what was on the other side. Do I need to fear for my life? |
Just a side note. We were told there are two weeks of spring break, this being week #2. I don't know if it's the cooler and damp weather or there aren't as many visitors but so far this week is a lot quieter.
It was a beautiful, although breezy and chilly, day to check out the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas. Well, ok, chilly for here, 65°. We're used to visiting bird sanctuaries and seeing one bird, if we're lucky. At the National Butterfly Center in Mission, TX we saw maybe TWO butterflies. What a delight to see so many birds on Monday. It was a beautiful preserve.
The Birding Center has a pollinator garden and large trees in the front followed by two boardwalks with viewing platforms. At the end of the longer boardwalk there was a trail connected to the Nature Preserve at Charlie's Pasture South Trail (1 1/2 miles). We didn't have time today but I hope we can go back and follow the trail. There were so many birds including a Green-Winged Teal, Great Heron, American White Pelican, Stilt, and more. We even saw their one alligator. Wooly worms were populous.

If I had this lens I would get some really cool pictures. |

I have found approximately 153 Farley Boats. I'm not searching any more but occasionally I come across another one. Where are the Piepers now? Port Aransus, TX |
A booklet of Farley boats would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes it would, if someone else did it, lol!
