Gators

 

And when walking the trails, you want to be careful where you step.

You probably don’t want to be the smallest alligator in the gang, though.

When you’re an alligator, it’s probably good to be part of an entire gang of gators.

 

 

Brazos Bend

 

Challenges in the life of a bird feeder.  Gray squirrels by day.  Coons at night.

The night hike revealed deer, bunnies, raccoons, and know what?  If you shine you light out into the swamp, you get alligator eyes glowing back at you.  If you watch them for a while, some of them move.  They glide across the water.  They never blink.

 

This mornings visitors…  A free ride isn’t necessarily an easy ride though.

 

 

Brazos Bend

 

First thing when we got here, we left the motorhome door open while we were unhooking the tow car, and two Carolina wrens flew right inside.  We had to shoo them back out.

 

 

Travel day

 

A gusty blustery drive north to Brazos Bend.  No problem.

 

A quiet day.  Gators, cardinals, wrens, a brown thrasher this afternoon.
