| I got up early enough to see dew drops on the beach grass. |
 |
| Looks like a snake den. Sounds dangerous. |
 |
| I took the public transportation to the Bilding Enter (seriously the Birding Center). I climbed to the top of that tower. |
 |
| from where I got a good look at the sewage treatment center |
 |
| and the nature boardwalk |
 |
| and the causeway to Port Isobel. Beyond that is Mexico. |
 |
| On the boardwalk I saw a couple collared doves in a bush. |
 |
| Great tailed grackles are everywhere here. They make many different noises including the sound of the return key on an electric typewriter. I know I'm dating myself with that analogy. |
 |
| Better look at the Eurasian collared dove. |
 |
| I saw American wigeon, Northern pintails, mottled ducks, redhead ducks and coots. See the long yellow toes of the coot? |
 |
| A showy egret sees a tasty snack and stretches it's neck out. |
 |
| Missed it! |
 |
| American alligator aligns it's body to catch the most sun exposure. We have much in common. |
 |
| This is the very first gallinule I've ever seen! |
 |
| Blue crabs under the water. |
 |
| I think that turtle is a red eared slider. |
 |
| Holy alligator! |
 |
| After the nature center I had lunch at the Grape Vine. This message is displayed in all the establishments that serve liquor. Interesting.to see what other states deem is important. |
