No more bird or swamp pictures. No more playing tag with the alligators. We drove home. Fish Crow on the way. Now we’re settled back in on our spot on the beach. Wilson’s Phalarope in town. Knee surgery for Judy tomorrow.
Brazos Bend State Park
A brief visit. We got here Sunday. Gone tomorrow morning. Back to Gulf Waters. Here are some parting shots.
Gator
We were watching this gator at the edge of the pond.
When suddenly he stood up.
Then he proceeded to walk across the trail, right between Judy and me. That’s Judy in the background with Jeff. She’s the legs with the walking stick.

I broke the video into two pieces, because I didn’t really mean to be that close to him. I decided it was time to take a couple steps back.

Change of scenery
We moved to Brazos Bend State Park for a few days. A hundred fifty miles. Now we’re looking at stuff like this.
Common Moorhen, White Ibis, and American Alligator. Tonight we saw fireflies and heard Coyotes, Eastern Screech-owls, and Barred Owls
Northern Parula
