26/01: Resaca de la Palma State Park

Resaca de la Palma State Park has only been open for a couple of years and this was our first trip to the park. The park is just outside of Brownsville about an hours drive from our RV park.
The park is rectangular in shape and the bright green lines is path we travelled mostly on foot though we did take the tram when we started out. Ed said we walked about 14 km --- no wonder I was tired by time we got back to the parking lot.
Caracara - bird of prey
There were some cows in the field next to the park. I'm not sure what happened but all of a sudden the cows took off --- a couple even waded through a few feet of water to get to whatever was calling them.
This butterfly landed on the tree and opened his wings so Ed could take a picture --- very co-operative.
Not sure what this guy is but he was very cute.
A view of one the resacas. The photo doesn't show it but there were several Kiskadees, a king fisher, a heron in the resaca.
