The fields there must be just right for a little feeding and cow watching. These birds are huge and don't seem to mind sharing the range with some cows!<br />

Hubby and I went out to N.Padre Island or Padre Island National Seashore. There is a photo blind built on the bank of a pond and it has benches and various ports to set your camera in. It's just beyond the National Seashore entrance/toll booth! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Dv6S4Eyv4Px5QIq8m6C0TTlI2yZhkY5Eb5Y452FcCFsNRgusOuQjd5hOa-pVZhFBWFJuqc2lbxWK4pqJwt-jNAY087YYdb5jwgEhbEoLJDdyAFa4c3gOb37GSkTSM1bH_MLtjav6xJ4k/s1600/abigDSC_0283.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Dv6S4Eyv4Px5QIq8m6C0TTlI2yZhkY5Eb5Y452FcCFsNRgusOuQjd5hOa-pVZhFBWFJuqc2lbxWK4pqJwt-jNAY087YYdb5jwgEhbEoLJDdyAFa4c3gOb37GSkTSM1bH_MLtjav6xJ4k/s320/abigDSC_0283.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>

This Red Winged Blackbird above was not disturbed by our presence but the Yellow Headed Blackbird below was very shy and I didn't get much of a shot! But I was thrilled to get this. These were at the Loretta Turnbull Water Treatment plant in Aransas Pass, Texas<br />

Hubby and I went for a drive to Goose Island State Park and bought our State Park Pass for a year. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9D9-zymGX2OkhGXQMGPTLff0-vt33IOjNLF4alWvHzTNtdnncveJUKrh3rFMYn1pMVar_32zyrYeyI7lxggWtUDhd9Ki7Hs6Lm-00fJGbyTWZbEWT5ki5Daw5lMOLkaofqLeDaR8JQ5P2/s1600/agrayDSC_0249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9D9-zymGX2OkhGXQMGPTLff0-vt33IOjNLF4alWvHzTNtdnncveJUKrh3rFMYn1pMVar_32zyrYeyI7lxggWtUDhd9Ki7Hs6Lm-00fJGbyTWZbEWT5ki5Daw5lMOLkaofqLeDaR8JQ5P2/s320/agrayDSC_0249.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
We went to our favorite site on Warbler Way in the park. There are two water drips and feeders which attract all sorts of birds. We captured this pretty Gray Catbird among others! We decided not to go at high noon because the action was slow at the feeders.<br />

Out of the Goose Island State Park but just North of it we saw these Whooping Cranes! It was a pretty day and we saw other birders out and about. After this we went to Charlotte Plummer's restaurant a little after one o'clock and they weren't crowded then. Got a window by the water but a flat bed trailer was blocking a better view!

One flew off as I approached but I still snapped a few shots with my Nikon 810 and 500 lens. I had to shoot into the sun because the water is on the other side. I really appreciate Vultures because of the dirty job they do! Our intelligent creator knew what we would need. We have plenty of Vultures in our area. Perhaps the water front with an occasional dead fish or the ranch lands with the critters trying to cross the roads. </div>
