What Do We Do (part 2)

Well, here I go again! As I was thinking about another post, I realized that we have done a lot of interesting things that are somewhat particular to Texas.

We went to a town called Port Mansfield that is famous because the deer have made it home. People now feed them and the cycle continues.

Another day, we visited Oliveria Park with Sharon and Pat. The park is in Brownsville, and the parrots fly around,  and land eventually in the eucalyptus trees at dusk. They roost there for the night. It sounds like a jungle when several hundred wild parrots land.

Now, spring has really started here in the Rio Grande Valley and we 
are amazed as we anticipate the Yuccas and the Prickly Pear blooms. Here are a few of what we are seeing.

                     We are surrounded with beauty in nature!   
We are also surrounded by surprises like the times we have seen bobcats. Here is a photo of the day that a mother and two almost full-grown young ones jumped in front of us and ran off. We captured a fuzzy picture. If you count the legs you can see them all.
Another day we saw a coyote feeding with a crowd of vultures, and of course the alligators are ever present!

There is also an antelope that was brought to the area by the some of the ranches so that hunters would have a large prey.  The are called Nilgai and we saw this female with three young.

As you can see, we are using our zoom to bring the picture closer. They are about the size of the moose (in Maine) and apparently the meat is very tasty. They are a smart animal and make the hunt quite challenging. 

I am going to cut this short with a great picture of the one who has walked beside me for a long time, and with me over many lands. I love her❤️❤️.
