Moved on to Galveston Island State Park. There were no sites available by the ocean when I arrived, so I took one on the other side of the highway that looks out on a lake and bayous. After the weekend people left on Monday, decided to stay where I was. The wind is a lot less here and there are only a few other campers.
Two birds enjoying the sun at Brazoria Wildlife Refuge.
There are two wildlife refuges around 30 miles from Galveston: Brazoria and San Bernard. Brazoria is huge, with salt and freshwater marshes, sloughs, ponds and costal prairies. It looks like what I picture Louisiana looks like, with lots of water all over the place.
Glossy Ibis. A large group of them were at Brazoria.
A common moorhen.
American kestrel.
Another beautiful tricolored heron.
I saw something colorful moving in the marsh next to the road. Some kind of shellfish.
