Our two month stay has come to an end at Isla Blanca Park in South Padre Island, Texas. Before blogging about our next location I thought I would use this one to reminisce and share some photos taken there that we haven’t yet posted.
A white-tailed kite in Estero Llano Grande where there is great birding and hiking.
A glossy ibis taken at Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge where there is great birding, biking and hiking.
We always have fun taking a stroll around the University of Texas –Rio Grande campus in Brownsville, Tx/
Above is a crested cara cara having a bad hair day at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge where there is also great birding, biking and hiking.
This is a great blue heron snagging dinner taken at Laguna Madre Nature Center where we enjoyed great birding and scenery.
Dolphin watching, biking and beach combing was great at Isla Blanca Park near Port Isabel, Texas.
These photos depict memories from some of our favorite spots to visit while wintering in South Padre Island, Texas. We hope you will enjoy the pictures as much as we did taking them. But now it’s time to hit the road once again…
NOTE: We are currently in Alamo TX until April 27th…
I an certainly see the attraction of South Padre Island with all the great birding, hiking and biking you've done there. And dolphins!
ReplyDeleteLots of outstanding birding spots here... and so many rarities visit this area as well.
DeleteWe are loving the Atlantic in Florida and thinking about what beach area might compare along the Gulf. So far, I've not been impressed with the Gulf from Corpus to Gulf Shores. Thinking we might give the area around Brownsville a try next winter.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to rate fave beaches, I would start on the west coast of Florida south of Tampa, the Destin/Panama Beach area in the FL panhandle, the Atlantic side of FL and then South Texas.
