I have some catching up to do!

 

An interesting day on the coast...

Saw a family of Tropical King Birds this morning. Then we got the jeep stuck in the mud on our way to Port Aransas. The tow truck people refused to come out because they didn't want to get their truck stuck. AAA no help at all. Thank goodness for Good 'ol boys with Trucks and Chains!

The 2011 Mother Daughter Birding Adventure has officially begun!

2011 birding adventure update - Monday 4/25 - drove from Sherman, Tx to Rockport, Tx with many stops along the way. I had to drop off a golf bag in Dallas, had to stop and buy some fingernail clippers, ( I start panicking if I don't have any with me...that and Qtips :) any way I just had to get out of the car every now and then. But, we are here and it's beautiful.  We did see a few notable birds on our way to the coast ...2  Crested Caracara,  8 White Ibis, and a White Tailed Hawk, which was a life bird for both of us.  More birding tomorrow morning! P.S.  Just a reminder that my Mother is the "Brains" of this little birding operation.  I am the photographer and driver!
