Yesterday we left early [dumb enough to leave the house during the rush hour!] and drove to Port Aransas, stopping at four different birding areas. I got photos galore, so be expecting many bird photos. And of course, they're most all waterfowl [except for a tanager and a couple others]. Golly, wonder why they're all mostly water birds? I took over 50 photos and am working on them to make them smaller in size to load quicker on the 'net. It was a lovely morning. The two of us met some nice people who were interested in birding also. The weather was super...tho, a bit windy in one area. We remained at Aransas for about 4 to 5 hours, wishing we could walk around the areas longer and go to others, but I had laundry waiting at home to be finished. There's always another day, another season. Stay tuned....POSTED: Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Love you my friend.
ReplyDeleteI love that Pelican. It's wonderful my friend :) I can't wait to see more of the pictures. Have a great Wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteGreat watery shot;-)
ReplyDeleteYes it´s a German Shepherd.
Have a nice day;-)
Very nice photo of the pelican, it looks a little rough out there but I'm sure he is enjoying himself. Will look forward to more bird photo's.
ReplyDeleteOh, is that a pelican? Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your bird shots. Looks like this guy is going for a ride.
ReplyDeletelove the shades of colors of the water!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing them. You always get great pictures!
ReplyDeleteSeems like this pelican is sleeping while in the water. Lovely shot!
ReplyDeleteThat Pelican (and the photo) is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo, he's there just on his way through?
We have lots of migratory birds here too.
Just saw a Bee-eater passing through which made me totally happy.
my golly that beautiful bird shurely can swim better than me
ReplyDeleteWhen you were a working girl, didn't you just get so angry that those retirees who had to be out on the road when you were trying to get to work? Was this revenge? : )
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Anni...
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and reminding me about my link :)
OH wow, beautiful picture. The water is rather wild.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful waterfalls, the pelican looks like it's drowning, how can she manage to stay there with running waters. Looking forward for the different birds you post soon.
ReplyDeleteOnpa Sinulla kaunis sivupohja, mikä lintu tuolla kuohuissa ?
ReplyDeleteMukavaa kevättä Sinulle, kurkin blogiisi taas !
He looks like he is in for a rough ride.
ReplyDeleteI love Port A. Did you go to the birding area that's right downtown across from the Tropic Island RV Park (I think it's called Jim's Pond, but not sure). Anyway that was the first place we stayed at Port A and it is great birding. We saw so many new birds there. We go back to the pond every time we're there although we've stayed somewhere different .
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by FT-L. I'm glad we live in a tropical area now too!
I love birding. Our town has a birding tour but taking photos of birds is soooo hard. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jeanne
Sounds like a fun day....maybe next time you'll stay over night.
ReplyDeleteMama Bear
Amazing shots from you as always.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet pelican just floating out there like there isn't "laundry" to do! I love how they pull their big beaks in so close to their bodies. I say...yes, there is another day...do your laundry on THAT day! HA! I will look forward to more pictures of your day at the harbor!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy beautiful day,
ReplyDeletelove the ocean picture,
and Happy Wednesday to you.
This looks like a beautiful place for a rendezvous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty Anni...thank you for the visit too. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteBird pictures are good. You never have to ask them to say "Cheese!" I look forward to seeing more from your birding photo album.
ReplyDeleteHey Anni - can you leave a separate comment on my blog about being a follower, so I have another entry? That way when I number them, you get 2. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture!

Good Morning Annie Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteI adore this post. Love the birds you know me. Take me to the ocean anytime, and whatever is there, I love it. The birds are so fascinating though. They glide with the greatest of ease and are so graceful it is like watching them dance in the sky. A beautiful ballet of sorts.
I can hear the water crashing around the area, and smell the ocean air. I can hear the birds calling to each other. I love the sounds and sites of the shore. You are so blessed to be so close to go whenever you want. How wonderful that must be.
I pray you are well. I am now having pain in my lower right lung, so will have to have that checked out. I am afraid the cold has worsened into something that needs antibiotics for sure. What a deal. I think it was the change in climates for me. Not sure.
Have a gorgeous week sweetie. I so adore you. Country hugs and much love...Sherry
aloha anni,
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun place to hang around and take some bird photos, great job
btw, come and join us this friday for my new friday challenge on my sari blog..
Thank´s for the nice comment on my blog Annie!
ReplyDeleteWhat does Hootin stand for? I,m curious, beacuse many years ago, we had a very popular band in Sweden called, Hootenanny Singers! One of them; Björn Ulveus later started ABBA, wich I´m sure you heard!
