As most of you know, I enjoy watching birds. So I was really happy when I found out that the Buffalo Bill Historical Center had a bird program. The birds have all been rescued. They do not do any tricks. Their handlers bring them out and tell about that specific species of bird. Really great information.

Birding Feb-March 2012
One of my favorite hobbies is birding. I spent lots of time birding in Feb and March with 2 of the best birding friends a person can have. Most of the birding spots were near Aransas Pass, Texas. When watching birds I always marvel at one of God’s most wonderful creations. Watching birds has only reinforced my belief in the fact that God created all and that we, animals, fish, or birds, did not evolve from one creature which began in the sea, grew legs, and eventually lived on dry land. Each bird’s bill fits the habit of that bird in what it eats. Just compare the beak of a pelican to the beak of a hummingbird. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I sure had lots of fun taking them.

Aransas Pass, Texas Great time, Great Birding
What a great time Gary and I experienced in Aransas Pass, Texas, also known as AP. Gary and I attended 4 music jams with the largest having over 28 players/singers and the smallest 10. Met a lot of new people and even sold some of our cds.
Gary fished with the guys and I ran around with the girls-what a lot of fun they are. Went to the beach 3 times and, thanks to Marlene, got to fly a kite on the beach.
Lots of places to bird watch in Rockport, Fulton, Lamar, and Port Aransas, so Jan, Marlene, and I managed to get some good birding in. Jan and I took a photography class-lots to learn.
I am posting some of my bird photos – for more click here.
