Choke Canyon State Park

 

Wonderful place; with Javelina.

 

 

Wild Turkeys.

 

A Great Egret happy to help out at the fish cleaning station.

 

An evening walk accompanied by windblown owl conversations.

 

Here is a video of him calling.

Here is a closer look.  Without a tripod it’s a little bouncy.

A nice sunset.

 

 

A chorus of pauraques.  Pauraques usually have a straightforward call that sounds like this sound bite.

 

 

(You should be able to open it by double-clicking it.)

 

Tonight, instead, we got the most charming call they do, when they have to wooka, wooka, wooka themselves up to the actual call.

But, glory of Choke Canyon aside, we’ve moved on.  Now we’re at Gulf Waters.
