I have gotten behind on my posts. Last week I took Dana & Tanya on a fun trip to Galveston, trying to make birders out of them, haha. We found some Brown Pelicans along 61st Street.
What fun to ride on the ferry when there is not a long wait! There was a traffic jam of boats in the channel, and lots of birds.
Today I tried to cheer myself up by going to the park to watch more birds. Well, actually the Killdeer was watching me...
They are so cute.
Along the Parkway I found a "raft" of Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks.
Since the rain last week, my marsh has filled up with water - and Green Winged Teal!
The closer I get, the better he looks!
The Harrier would fly over now and then, and the whole group of ducks would take off.
I can't say that I would blame them.
I also saw pintails, blue winged teal, mallards, and this Northern Shoveler.
The Kestrels were also perched on patrol.
This one caught what I think was a mouse.
It didn't look right - a pine tree full of Monk Parakeets?
These landed 10 feet from me!
They are almost a neon green underneath.
It is amazing how green everything turned with our 2" of rain last week.
I knew a walk in the park would do me good!
