Nature in Rockport, TX

Above is Rockport's famous 1000 year old live oak tree! One morning, we saw our very first whooping cranes. There are sandhill cranes here, also, but we've not seen them yet. We are heading to the Wildlife Refuge tomorrow.

Earl, out our trailer window, spied our first look at cardinals!!! The mother on the feeder and the father looking out for her are married for life, so they say!

Rufus is going in for surgery Monday as he has a huge sty on his eye which needs to be lanced. Then we leave Tuesday for New Orleans--benets to eat, the French Quarter, and a tour of a plantation. Hopefully some more magnolia and dogwood trees to see.

Hopefully, some more nature photos tomorrow!
