This week we went to Resaca de la Palma State park.
And I took some of the wierdest bird pics... some of them look like the bird is deformed   This green jay fanned out his wing just as I took the shot.
I don't know..is this bird singing opera?  Or is it two different birds? Or maybe he was born with his head on backwards.  I don't know  but he just doesn't look right to me.
My version of Angry Bird (s)
and finally, this chachalaca who seems offended at his fellow chachalaca's butt in his face.
We shared  the park that day with 75 kindergarteners. Cute but noisy.  Kudos to the teachers who bring all those 5 or 6 year olds to a park and actually keep them interested and well behaved.
Maybe they were amazed by the crazy birds antics as I was.

A couple or three years ago there was a huge fire in a building that housed many cans of paint and chemicals.  After the fire, no cleanup seemed apparent.  We saw an article in the local newspaper last year saying that the owners were given xxx amount of time to clean it up.
  When we came back this year, no changes have been made  and lo and behold, there are animals...horses, cattle etc.,  grazing  there.  Incredible! What are the owners thinking?!
I don't think there is a bad-looking live oak tree but I like some more than others.  This one is in Luckenbach, Texas.
I Wonder how old it is.
