Our days have become surprisingly routine in South Padre
Island. Breakfast in Colectiva nearly always, several doggie walks, a visit to
the Birding Center to see if we see any new birds, then possibly lunch or dinner
out – one of the local seafood haunts for the most part. Today’s visit to the
SPI Birding Center got us a couple of new birds, one of which is the Eastern Phoebe.
The other is a bird that we have seen almost daily. But they
are extremely shy, so our sightings have always been from far away, or just a
glimpse through the reeds or sea oats. But today, a Black-crowned Night Heron
decided to pose for us. He was out in the open, not in the reeds, and even
chose to give us a profile. It was awesome!
We managed to find the only Teppan tables in South Padre
Island. The way they run this place is they fire up a table when anyone is
interested, and then seat additional folk as they arrive while those at the
table are getting situated and ordering drinks. Because we were early, even by
SPI standards, we ended up getting a private showing, sitting by our selves in
the two middle seats! Overall, it was just OK food and an OK show, but it was
something different out on the island, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Talk to you soon!
