I took a slow afternoon drive to Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge today and focused on studying a few old friends. Although the refuge is still dry from the long drought I managed to find a couple of interesting migrants. The Scissor-tails are bunching up and likewise the Kestrels are moving in.
Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is a 34,000-acre complex of coastal marsh and prairie bordering Galveston Bay on the Upper Texas Coast. Extensive fresh and saltwater marshes crisscross the refuge. In addition to the marshes, broad the coastal prairie and small wooded areas provide a habitat for numerous species of wildlife. Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is home to from migratory birds, mammals and a healthy population of alligators. Hope you enjoy the images. Leave a comment if you feel the need.
