Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge

Hi everybody, well yesterday we travelled to the Santa Ana Wildlife refuge near Alamo with Mary and Tom. Well here are our friends standing beside Tom's infamous picture on the wall of the refuge from 5 years ago when they visited there.(different blue shirt.
Now he did ask if anyone wanted autographs but most people declined--their loss! The park is 2,000  acres of trails and  some dried up lakes because of the drought conditions here in Texas. Lots of wildlife and birds.
Mary and I on a suspension bridge through the tree tops. We were on a 7 mile tram ride tour through the park. It took us through a cemetery on the property that had been there since the 1800's.At one point on the tour we were only 1/3 of a mile from  the Rio Grande River with Mexico on the other side.
Last week a bobcat had run in front of the tram but nothing this trip. We had done a short walking trip to see birds on the Pintail Lake Trail  and then the tour ,then we stopped for picnic lunch.
 Golden fronted woodpecker near picnic tables.
Notice the humming bird in the lower left hand corner-bonus!
We had a great day with sunshine and temp of 78.
Ron took some great pics. Bye for now have a great day-stay warm,   Dee and Ron
