I am visiting  Choke Canyon State Park, between San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas. Was here once before during Thanksgiving, when it was really crowded. Now there are only a handful of people here. The birding is amazing. I decided not to go to Brazos Bend State Park, one of my favorites, this year and am finding Choke Canyon a worthy substitute. They even have alligators.

Yesterday kept intermittently hearing a strange sound that didn’t sound like birds. Finally stepped out of my rv to investigate and saw a bobcat in the brush. It looked at me briefly and then went about it’s business of looking for prey.
