This one is a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron Blackbilled Whistling-DuckWhite-faced IbisBlack-necked Stilt.Indigo Bunting.. and wildflowers everywhere.The tower ….… overlooking the huge swampIn the nature center – we did get to pet a 9 month old (!) gator baby.Michael & Verena visited for a short walk.… and lunch. They brough very yummy Brats from Billy’s Bourdin & Cracklings in Louisiana.We discover a lot of the long trails in the park by eBike – they are just perfect!On the way to the next stop – one of the Texas Border Patrol stops.… with this camera setup – we assume they are “seeing” a lot before the check our resident cards 🙂 The next stop is Seminole Canyon State ParkWe have been here before – and this time did not have time to take the tour to the huge cliff overhang, the shelter holds some of Texas’ most spectacular rock art (pained 4000 years ago). Our campsite with a perfect sunset.We get to watch a couple house finches build there nest in the posts from our picnic shelter 🙂
