What do we do in our normal everyday activity. We live in a campground with mostly -55 and above folks and managed by a wonderful person, Patti. We decide each day what to do and where to go. Sometime we go with the Traveling Sisters and other times we go alone.
I mentioned the rodeo a few posts ago so I want to add a few pictures:
Another day we visited the statue of the Marine Landing on Iwo Jima, with Kerry and Janet. It was a powerful reminder. Here are some photos of that day.
But, as you know, the main activity of our winter is walking, hiking and birding! One of the areas where we walk is the South Padre Island Birding Center and Nature Park. We often visit with Sharon and Pat, who have new cameras and enjoy seeing what shots they can get of the birds.
There are so many to show but here are a few of the ones we have taken pictures of in various places.
White Ibis
Roseate Spoonbills
Screech Owl
Thrashers
Audubon Oriole
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
Caspian Tern
Tricolored Heron
Wilson’s Snipe
Altamira Oriole
Green Jay

There are a few other places we visited like Claytons Beach Bar and a Shrimp Boil Cruise into the Port of Brownsville, and a trip to Port Mansfield. They will keep for another post.
But I will sign off now with a message of gratitude and joy! So many people our age have health issues or have passed away. We are enjoying these years with an appreciation of our friends, our health, and the incredible magic of nature. I am so very thankful for this life, these friends, and my wonderful partner❤️
