Sun Jan 31

Hi everybody.It started out this morning as a cloudy 34deg but by noon it had gotten up to 43deg yahoo! We went birdwatching with Tom and Mary. Probably walked 6 miles or so all on a grassy path. We had a great time AND got to see a very rare bird called a Northern Jacana that only is seen in Mexico. (cant imagine why it would ever leave the warm weather down there!)
This was a blue heron showing off.There are a few Vermillion Flycatcher's here also .They are a small red tufted bird with a black mask on.
This is one of many Caracara birds that are at the park. They are the size of our turkey buzzards but not as ugly.
There are also a number of white pelicans out in the lake.

Blue heron strutting around .



Harris hawk on our walk .As you can tell this park is a bird watchers paradise . It is raining here again today (Monday) but is supposed to clear by Fri morning.
This park is 11 miles from Three Rivers (texas). Its a town of 1800 people and a Valero oil refinery right along side of the Frio River.Approx. 85 miles due south of San Antonio.
Today we are doing the washeteria thing and the library,a few groceries and were good to go!
I hope everyone is doing ok and were thinking of y'all. bye for now Dee & Ron




One of the many deer that are outside our door every morning.no feeding them tho.
