South Padre Island sunset..

Howdee all,

We have left Padre Island and are now in Mercedes, Texas..

We plan on traveling tomorrow, and hours drive, back to the Island in hopes of seeing some more migrants show up. 

This Great-tailed Grackle below is No migrant..padre island fall out_014

But, very amusing birds to watch..check out my previous post for some

Grackle attitude..padre island fall out_019

Jeff and I enjoyed birding the boardwalk at the Birding center, on Padre Island, in the evening..

I prefer skies with clouds..padre island fall out_024

Rather than all blue skies…padre island fall out_028

  So..back to the Island we go…

Wishing for some migrating birds for viewing..and maybe a few clouds to take photos of..

    Oh, those sceneries are beautiful. Look at those colours and the light!
    That's one Grackle with attitude, no?
    :D
    Glad you are enjoying your time there!

    I've read much about Padre Island, but had no idea it was such a gold mine for birders. I think the migration fallout pictures are my all-time favorite.

    Beautiful, beautiful!
