A quiet Sunday

Nothing to report. A quiet Sunday. Drove down island, through Corpus Christi, and out to Hazel Bazemore Park. It’s thirty-five miles to the park, but if we go there we get completely different habitat from the beach; freshwater ponds, open grassy fields, a little brush and forest, and even a hill. Had a good walk. Saw lots of birds, including mottled duck, American avocet, inca doves, vermilion flycatcher, great kiskadee, couch’s kingbird, and blue gray gnatcatcher.

It was cool here for a few days, but now we’re back to the seventies with lows in the sixties. Comfortable weather. A little windy sometimes, but we appreciate that here the wind doesn’t bring any dust. The air never has anything in it except humidity. The breeze from the east the last few days has plenty of that. No dry winter skin here.

Shrimp creole for lunch at Snoopy’s on the way home. Pelicans, egrets and herons. Peregrine falcon. Warm weather. Football. Life on the beach.
