More Padre Island

The weather has been better than we expected. Our first day had all the snow and we questioned our decision to come here.  But since then we have been blessed with much sun, and some reasonably warm days. We’re in heaven!

We keep trying to add to our list of new birds we’ve never seen before. This Night Heron blessed us with a brief visit at the South Padre Island Birding Center. We enjoyed him thoroughly!
Kona still loves the beach every day that we visit. His favorite trick when we go is to find something really, really stinky, then he revels in it!
One last new bird graced our path. This looked like several other birds we had seen before, but it was just a bit different. After watching it for a while and pouring over our Audubon bible for a while, we figured out that this was a Reddish Egret. Apparently, these birds are at home here in South Texas, but there are not a lot of them. Lucky us!
Talk to you soon!
