As the headline says, we're now training for our next Camino walk. We've gone to Bentsen-RGV State Park twice now, and the Hike and Bike, and to Estero Llano Grande in Weslaco as well.
We saw some interesting birds at Estero this time. (One of them was completely uncooperative about posing for pictures. He was small, blue-gray, and very active. One of the other visitors guessed he might be a Blue Gnat-catcher. He was certainly eating bugs too small for us to see!)
This ibis was hunting. He wasn't having much luck, as the wind was coming up in advance of a cool front coming through.
The kite was surveying the world, and incidentally keeping most of the smaller birds in cover.
Great Blue Heron? He was hanging out with some more white ibises, and some other swimming birds, and what looked like a juvenile ibis.
Estero really has a lot of waterfowl to look at. Even when the alligators aren't holding court, there is a lot to see.
