Finally made it to the Gulf Coast of Texas. The warm breezes I felt when I first got here confirmed that I had arrived. Unfortunately, it proceeded to rain nonstop the following two days. I’m staying at the same park that I’ve stayed at before, but this time my site is about 20 feet from the Arroyo Colorado River. The second day of rain I started to get worried, but the river did not rise. There is, however, flooded farmland and front yards all over. You know a lot of stuff gets washed into the river when it rains. Nonetheless, people were back fishing the day after the rains.
I love watching all the birds fly inland over the river in the morning and out towards Laguna Madre in the evening. There are always brown pelicans around. It looks like an 2 adults and 2 young look alikes above.
Coyote in muddy farmland. He blends right in.
Green jays
Black crested titmouse.
Kingfisher seen from my rv. All these pictures are from where I’m staying.
There is a resident spotted sandpiper at my site. It’s a solitary bird that bounces up and down like a male ruddy duck.
Below, a Harris’s hawk with a fish. I didn’t have time to focus my camera, but still wanted to include it.
