22/03: Mustang Island

Posted by: The Agnew Family
The past four days have been relatively quiet. We spent a lot of time walking the seaweed covered beach --- I've never seen seaweed piled two feet high along the shoreline but apparently it happens as people didn't seem to be overly bothered by. A trip to Port Aransas, the National Seashore and the local Wal-mart (the trucks change oil light came on and given the number of kilometers ahead of us we decided to have the oil changed) were the highlights.
Roseate Spoonbill
Green-winged teal. The birds beaks were stirring up the sand.
There are a lot of geocaches on Mustang Island, one of which was out on these rocks. Ed did find it.
The boat is almost too big for the dock at this house.
The entrance at Mustang Island State Park.
One of our favorite places at the National Seashore is Bird Island Beach where the windsurfers play.
My guess is a Long-billed Dowitcher.
Great Blue Heron.
Northern Pintail.
Cormorants enjoying the sunset.
