My Mom and I are on a birding trip to the Texas coast. Very cool! We have been on the go for the past 2.5 days - so many birds (and other creatures) to see. Yesterday we went to High Island and Mom saw her first Painted Buntings, yay! Today we did a Rail Walk at the Anahuac refuge and flushed a Yellow Rail. I didn't know what that meant before today, but trust me, it's a special thing.
Many more photos coming eventually...
Houston, Mom has landed:
Kip checking out a woodpecker (Kip drove me to Houston and humored us with a bit of birding at a north Houston park):
Our guide Bryan finding one of many, many species for us to gawk at (he's really good at it):
A dragonfly encounter during lunch:
A green heron hanging out (don't worry, I'm not really trying to take photos of birds with my simple camera, I just figured I try it out on a large bird a few feet away - and it's still not a great shot):
Sounds like rain and wind tomorrow. Adventure racers would be dismayed. Birders get all excited. Definitely a different type of crowd. But still fun to hang around with!
