Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
Temps: Hi 62F (17C) / Lo 53F (12C)
After a week of mostly overcast weather, the sun finally came out today. Nice to have bright sunshine and blue skies even if the temps are on the coolish side. Normally we go for our beach walk first thing in the morning, but I waited for the temp to reach the day’s high before going out … Mui was excused to work on a project in the coach, but more on that later.
Anyway, I had just returned to the pad after my walk when what should I see across the pond but a roseate spoonbill. Granted, its coloring was rather pale — a juvenile would be my guess ... but it was a roseate nonetheless. The bird was inching its way along the edge of the pond, its bill constantly sweeping below the surface of the water for a tasty tidbit or two.
