Along the Migratory Path

Spoonbill Central
Spoonbill Central
~Leonabelle Turner Birding Center~
Mustang Island
Port Aransas, TX

Located in the Central Migratory Flyway and in the heart of the spring and fall migration routes, Port Aransas attracts an abundance of birds and birders alike. The almost mile-long boardwalk with a 25 foot observation tower provides an excellent sweeping view of 10 acres of both fresh and saltwater marshes and a huge amount of water fowl, as well as, land birds. These birds know a good thing when they see it! (The gathering of Spoonbills was the definite highlight for me!)

  Admittedly I'm not a big bird person (well, at least not to photograph), but I'd LOVE to see some spoonies someday. They're just so colorful and cool (as your wonderful photo clearly shows...)!

  What a beautiful sight, so well captured, Val. It seems you staged them, their beaks aligned, to compose this wonderful image. Great colors and excellent description.

  I'm with ya on this being a highlight moment, Valarie. You captured not only the beautiful birds, but the sounds of water and wind (breeze really) in this special moment repeated by nature each year.
