Government Reopened
With the Washington stupidity ending (at least for a few days), life at the refuge is in full season mode. Decent weather (for the most part) has kept the Polar Vortex crowd of Winter Texans pouring in. Jan and I have been having a lot of fun leading habitat bus tours on three property locations. Here is a pic of us with our buddies Cathy and John.



Nilgai Nation
Nilgai are exotic antelopes native to India and Pakistan. The King Ranch brought them to Texas for game hunting and of course some escaped. Now there are about 1,000 of these magnificent creatures on the refuge. It is rut time for these critters, and they are putting on a show.









Janny Art
Jan has also been helping to beautify the refuge. Here are a couple of her works in the Visitor Center.





Critters on the Tour
Here are a few critter pics I have taken on the tour.
