Laguna Atascosa

 

National Wildlife Refuge.

 

97,000 acres along the shore of the Laguna Madre.  Dense thorny brush among wind-blown dunes.  Thorn forest intermingled with freshwater wetlands, coastal prairies, mudflats, and beaches along one side.  The last best U.S. habitat of the endangered Ocelot.

 

 

Green Jays, Plain Chachalacas,

 

and the Texas Tortoise.

  1. Hey Steve,
    Thanks for the recent email about the trailsnet site.
    The Green Jay looks a little like a roadrunner but that may just be the surroundings influencing my judgment.
    It looks like you guys are living the good life in your RV.
    I appreciate your sharing info in your blog.
