On the road again

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of our beautiful HitchHiker RV. 

We loaded up and headed out.  Our destination is Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge where we will be volunteering for the second year.  We will be there January 1 through the end of April. 

On the way to Laguna we are going to spend a couple of days at Choke Canyon State Park.  It’s a very nice park with big, easy to back into, sites.  We’ve stayed here several times. 

 Choke Canyon is located on the 26,000-acre Choke Canyon Reservoir, a water supply for Corpus Christi.  There are 40 RV sites and 20 screened shelters.  Only about 25 of the RV sites are occupied right now.  Our site backs up to the lake.

 The weather is pretty cool and cloudy but we are enjoying walking around.  We got into a really nice group of birds and in a few minutes saw:  Northern Cardinal, Green Jay, Osprey, Great Blue Heron, Least Sandpiper, Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Golden-fronted and Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Savannah Sparrow, Northern Mockingbird, Greater Roadrunner, Black and Turkey Vultures, Great Egret, Killdeer, Ring-billed Gull, DC Cormorant, Long-billed Thrasher, Audubon’s Oriole, Wild Turkey, Northern Harrier.
