Seminole Canyon didn't get us far enough east for one day's drive, so we decided to drive to Garner State Park. It's a beautiful site with live oak and cedar trees set along the Frio River only about an hour west of San Antonio.
Birding here is fabulous! Saw my first ever painted bunting, a beautiful little bird with red breast, green back and blue head. Also saw our first Crested Caracara that looks like a turkey vulture, but has a white head and tail. AND we saw a few scissor-tailed flycatchers at a rest area on Rte. 90.
Other birds seen: Vermillion flycatchers, yellow rail, black vultures, common black hawk, Scott's oriole and black-crested titmouse.
Life is good!

Hi Mom and Gene. It was good to talk to you this morning. It sounds like you two are having a great time. Good! I'm trying to learn this Blog thing. It's really neat and everything, but I have yet to see a post card from you. One from Louisianna (is that how you spell that?) would be cool, since Alana was born in Lake Charles, LA. No pressure or anything like that. Keep having an awesome time and I'll talk to you or maybe get some mail from you soon. Love you both, Paula
P.S. When is Gene's great grand baby due?
It sounds like you guys are having alot of fun. I hope you enjoy your trip. And keep an eye out for a indigo bunting. They are my favorite.
Jessica . . . I did see an indigo bunting, but didn't get a photo of it. I will try to upload a photo of the painted bunting.
