More Bird Watching
Yesterday was cold and rainy, so other than exercise class, computer class (Ed's a helper) and the necessary dog walks we stayed in the trailer and tried to keep warm.
The sun was shinning this morning and the forecast was good so we headed to Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge to do a little bird watching. The rain had left the trails wet so we got to experience south Texas mud first hand --- you don't sink into it, it just attaches to your shoes and after a while it feels like your walking on high heels. The birding wasn't too exciting, but we did get to see an American Kestrel, Harris's Hawk, Black-necked Stilts, Ruby-crowed Kinglets and a mix of warblers and sparrows.
The Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) on the trees at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge.
Need a pinata? Interesting sighting on the drive home --- you can't read the license plate but the truck is from Mexico.
