Dr. Robert Edwards, Emily Duprie, and Myself caught an early ferry to Port Aransas this morning to check out spring birds. It was a good day. Emily saw and called her first Palm Warbler, a little bird wearing a brown "hat". We also saw the beautiful Prothonary, Black and White, Black-Throated Green, and Northern Parula. Those were for starters. If you aren't in to birds they don't mean much, but if you can find pictures of them you will know what was so special about them.
We saw other "birds" of a different feather flocking together. They were the ones on spring break. O, we didn't go to the beach, heaven forbid. We saw a lot of families enjoying spring break. It was nothing out of the ordinary. The crowds were way above normal and ferry waits were long, depending on the time and direction. We played it safe and had little delay. Spring is almost upon us. In just three more days it will be here. I don't love to spring forward but I love the spring.
