5/12/07 We Join a Bird Watcher's Walk

When we stopped at the Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center yesterday we learned that there was going to be a guided bird walk around one of the ponds today. This is a once a year event! So we got up early and joined in. Here are some birds we that have never seen before....
This is an American Avocet. This bird sweeps his up-curved bill back and forth through the water to catch his food.

A Glossy Ibis

and a White Ibis.

This afternoon and tonight we are staying at Ocean Waves Campground in the little town of Waves. It's time to empty the RV's waste tanks and refill the fresh water storage tank. We will also be able to hook up to electric power so that we can use our Direct TV satellite system from home to relax and watch TV.
