LouTex Day 11

March 5, 2014

90 Minute Beach Walk

It was a chilly, overcast but dry start to the day. We’re moving south along the coast. But before we do, we stop up the road for some Whooping Cranes and Sandhill Cranes, a sight we’ve looked forward to.

And we weren’t disappointed. People in the houses along Fourth and Eight Streets here have feeders, and the birds flock here during the breeding season:

In addition to these beauties were some not-so beauties:

…and the beautiful “Big (Live Oak) Tree”:

We drove south to Mustang Island State Park and got a site (16) for two nights ($20 for Electric and Water). After lunch, we headed out for a sandy beach walk:

It was warmer than it looks, but windy, for us and the birds:

After searching along the breakwater,

…I found a “Sand Dollar and Fifty Cents”:

Today’s Cat’s Eye View is of another of her perches, on the bug tent stored under the dinette table:
