Birding

Went to Estero Llano Grande State Park to look for birds..  we are at 81different birds!  can we make 100 before we leave?  the park was beautiful, we did have a bit of help from the volunteers at the park.  They really know their birds. 

Harris Hawk:



Pied Billed Grebe:



Yellow Rumped Warbler:



just above the black stick is a Common Pauraque:



on the log we have Black bellied Whistling Duck, Teals, Northern Shovelers and Turtles:


dinner at Marco's where they make their burgers by grounding rib eye steak!  very very good!


Tomorrow (Sat) is our bike ride!  I have a great suspicion that our miles will be greatly reduced.  they are calling for thunder storms in the early AM then 50 mph winds by noon!  Of course Sunday looks wonderful!  keeping our fingers crossed that the winds wait until late afternoon!

  1. Are you excluding information about the restaurants where you didn't like the food? Seems like all food reports are possitive, and that really doesn't seem realistic.. Just sayin. Good luck on the bike ride, sorry to hear of the bad weather forcast, but all this drama just makes for wonderful blog stories, so it is all good, right?? Have fun...
