Day at Sable Palms & a Hawk at Port Isabel

Hawk on railing at Light House, walked over and jumped down on a pigeon.

Shirley and Keith with a large Castor Bean Plant in back ground.

Sable Palms neat place to take a few pictures if you don't see the birds?

Moths or Butterfly's? I Lean towards the Moths.

OK, here you go the name of this tree? IPOD?, Sausage?, Baloney? or something
not printable?

We have procrastinated long enough, we need to go

This HARLEY'S, an OLD Feed Store, a place you can grab a beer and a Castle Burger. Where the field hands stop after a day in the fields and on Saturday and Sunday it is a Beer Garden with Music.
We have put it off 2 years, that's long enough

Questions of what we have seen?

This little bird looks like a Pine Warbler?
The only other pictures was of a Print and wonder if it is a bob cat that had been seen in the area?

Estero Llano Grande State Park

The Parouche (Nighthawk) sleeping on the ground did not know we were there.
Another one was close buy rocking back and forth getting a more comfortable position. (or maybe having a nightmare?)

Silhouette of a duck

Casting their refection on the water

Anhinga landed in tree across the lake.

Day at Padre but a STOP at Port Isabel First

But I see Massage signs all over?

Heron in Flight with reflection on water

Giant Egret with Fish in beak,

Close up of Gator sunning and bottom with Giant Egret
Had landed 2 ft from his tail at first

Love this Heron in grass with the reflection

These were Larger Fish that were safe from the birds but I imagine
were good for the Ali gators

Skimmers, they flew just above the water and would dip down with beak open in the water and you can see the chopping in the water as the fish darted to get out of the way

Red Neck Heron doing his dance to round up fish!

OK Lady, you need a telephoto lens your spooking him!

This May or may not be a Crimson Duck?

Can't help it he looks Naked to Me!

Well at least this one had decency to go to the bushes.

Lantana flower and they really draw the Butterfly's, just wish there were different ones?

Then back to Port Isabel to the grave yard.
pretty old and a lot have another new head stone placed in front of an old one
of some one else.

This one is sad, Small Grave with toy's Placed in front of Teddy Bear Head Stone of Child's Grave
