Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Rockport, TX
This area of the gulf coast is known for birding. Whooping Cranes are here this time of year and I have never seen them before so I was hoping when we drove out the the refuge we might see some. We did.....from a distance, along with other water fowl and some furry and hard shelled four legged friends!
Just outside the visitors center we said hello to our welcoming committee;) We are in gator country!
Off in the distance our first whooping crane!
We saw a raccoon scamper away from a pond....maybe these were his tracks??
A small oil rig out in the Gulf
My first sighting of a live armadillo.....bout time, I've seen plenty of dead one by the road sides!!
This new observation tower was ADA compliant ...and felt like a quarter mile walk!! Awesome view of the surrounding refuge though!

Leaving the refuge in the late afternoon we began to see deer everywhere.
