REFUGE ADVENTURE





todays adventure started by going thru down town rockport and saw a few green blue herons flying then we nothiced many many more and thought this is s rookery so we stopped found a place to park got out and walked to the areawhere we saw the GBH's...we noticed many 75--100 or more birds in the area..many in trees and we sure tried totake pictures of all of them...but i am only putting one on the blog...it was most interesting to see this and we thought this has made our day..

then we went to goose island state park in the look out for whooping cranes...well we saw some..along with rosetta spoonbills-lots of ducks-shore birds-lots of differnt birds...then it was time to move on so off we went to aransas refuge area...

there we took the driving tour around the refuge and got out to walk severla of the trails where we saw more birds..and even more whoopers and some family members and we don't know which sinde of the family they are frm ..you can tell from one of the pictures..hahahaha...

all in all it was a good day we saw many more differnt birds than we ever thought we would..even deer-wild pigs-armadillos--and many more things that were hidden in the weeds..

so we had a good day..even had to shed our winter coats and wore just flannel shirts..the sun was out but the temps were only about 50...
