Blog 297: Hot Then Cold, Short But Sweet
We are enjoying our stay at the wildlife refuge--nice to be experiencing an area we had never explored. Our tours have started, and so far, so good.
Birds
Here are a few shots of birds we have seen. In order, great kiscadee, kestrel, great blue heron, and roadrunner:
Horse Crippler
Here is a photo of a rare cactus, the Horse Crippler--any guesses why it has this name?
Texas Tortoise
Here is a Texas tortoise, related to the gopher tortoises found in Florida. Kind of boxy, but cute.
Nilgai
Last time I posted a male Nilgai. This week it is a female chowing down.
Old Trucks
Here are three old trucks from the Old Truck Reserve.
See you next time.
