I took the opportunity to ride along with my son to my daughter's place in Rockport for the holiday. Had hoped to see 100 species in the county (Aransas). The weather was so cold and windy that I birded mostly from the car, only making it to 78 species. My daughter accompanied me on a couple of my forays. All in all, I had a great time. She and her husband have an awesome vacation rental there that she generously offered a discount to birders, so if you or anyone you know are interested, here's the link. Be sure to say you're birders.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Aransas County.

Meanwhile, the oasis is... well, still there. Not much happening these days
As always, so much to be thankful for!
Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I took hundreds with no sun and from a distance, so not as good as I would have liked, but these are among my better ones. I just use them for documentation anyway.
DeleteI spent Thanksgiving weekend in Port Aransas. I hope you got to see the American Flamingo and Eurasian Wigeon while you were there!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to Port Aransas. Had I known about the flamingo and widgeon, I definitely would have.
ReplyDeleteThough I live in San Antonio, I have a home in Rockport which I visit regularly. I love the area for birding and fishing. I see the Whooping Cranes every year. Wonderful birds.
