Today we went to the Padre Island Birding center and walked the boardwalks. Later to the convention center to the market. It was a huge vendor market with lots of crafts and flea market type vendors. Then we went to the beach outside of town and parked at a beach access site where people were driving their cars onto the beach. Several didn't make it and got buried in the sand. We had about an hours worth of entertainment watching other trucks try to pull them out. Eventually all were out and aon their way.
We are starting to like this place and can see spending a month here at some later time.
Sand castles on main street on South Padre Island
We had dinner at Pier 19 Friday. It's a restaurant built on a long pier over the bay. All seats are on the water!
The boardwalks at the birding center.
Roseate spoonbills in the marsh
A common galinule. Bright red beak!
A heron sunning itself.
Northern pintail ducks. They were gorgeous.
Black bellied whistling ducks. New to me!
Lots of folks driving on the beach. There are over thirty miles of beach on the gulf side of the island
