Another High Island egret
Shot on my first-ever trip to High Island, Texas. I have lived in Houston 58 years, but having no interest in bird photography, had never heard about High Island (for birding). About 7 months ago I decided to give bird photography a try and soon learned about these sanctuaries. It has been a fun spring season and have learned a lot. CC welcome

A note of interest:
I met three very serious birders at High Island this week that rode bicycles down from the Yukon. They have been on the road 10 months. They rode to San Diego and then to Florida where they rode a loop around it. They are NOT traveling with support team. There next planned stop is the lower Texas coast and then on to Big Bend NP where they will end their 1-year tour. They have other arrangements for returning to the Yukon. The three riders are: a woman - her son - a girl that may be her daughter - I'm not sure. The son and girl are about college freshman age.
