Green Heron
We met these ladies from Oklahoma at a local park the other day and they were telling us about a place they had been in Port Isobel that they thought so interesting. I couldn't wait to go and see it. The next day was cool and rainy but we just wanted to see this Sea Life Center.
We were thinking it would be as interesting as the Turtle Rescue Center but were we ever disappointed.
Here is a sign on brown paper taped to a fish tank
This is what they were calling a touch tank... a shallow sink with hermit crabs that you may touch.
There were maybe 10 of these little aquariums.
We thought it a wasted day.
It occurs to me that every time I blog, I talk about a rainy or cold day . We do have nice ones too.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the low 80s so we went to a local park about 7 miles from here to see what the fishermen and the birds were doing.
Since it was a good day for the fishermen, the pelicans were happy also. They know where to find a free meal.
The men were cleaning fish and they had a waiting cleanup committee who fought over the scraps.
I must have taken 50 frames of these pelicans fighting over the fish and then the gulls joined in
and it amuses me that in the end, a cagey gull got a portion of it but some of the pelicans went hungry.
If was a good day for the pelicans and gulls, it was a better day for this fisherman and when I asked him if I could take his picture with his catch, he was all smiles.
I believe he said these are redfish and trout. I hope that is right.
