Texas 19 - Port A

As the locals call it.

Where was I?

Got back to Galveston from Port Aransas on Mustang Island late last night. Just tried East Beach early am for Bonaparte's Gull. Quiet, but not quiet enough with early morning walkers constantly flushing the large concentration present.

Highlights from our mini-break to the Central Coast...

Green Kingfisher - main target. Brief view on a post. Too quick for a pic.

Be nice to finish enjoying a proper "fall". Thunderstorms forecast for Friday afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Stay tuned...
