What a week! Not much sewing going on, but instead I’m doing cleaning and laundry. I know, shocking, isn’t it??? I was just as surprised as you are. So no design wall pic yesterday because there’s nothing going on there, and I checked and I took no good birds pics this week either. Soooo, here are some favorites from Port Aransas, Texas. The above picture is of a long-billed curlew taken along the National Seashore on North Padre.
This great blue heron was stalking a fisherman who was fishing in the surf of the Gulf of Mexico just outside Port Aransas. Every once in a while, the fisherman would throw the heron a small fish.
This guy definitely isn’t a bird, but on our 2008 visit to Paradise Pond, the pond was LOADED with turtles!
This is a yellow-crowned night heron. They are about the size of a chicken, and roost/sleep in the trees during the day. At dusk, the night herons rise up out of the trees by the hundreds (but this is the only yellow-crowned one I saw). It’s quite a sight.
Here is a picture of the black-crested night heron. They were more plentiful. We only saw them in 2008. I hope they come back another year, they were so much fun to look for. Click here for more information on night herons.
