This heron was alongside the highway into Rockport, and unlike our skittish Washington herons, was not a bit bothered by our presence. Thinking that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I snapped more photos than I'll ever admit to. Later I found that herons are everywhere and quite comfortable with me and my camera!
These gulls, with their black beak and sharp-contrast markings, are a bit different than what we are used to. This photo was taken on a stretch of beach on Padre Island. 
Pelicans are everywhere, swooping through the air, skimming the water, diving for dinner, spreading their wings, and puffing their pouch. This one was just hanging out on a dock in Fulton Harbor.

There's wildlife, and there's tamelife. Not that the timelife will let you pet them, no. But their surrounding safe-circle has a much smaller radius. Certain birds seem to do fine making their own daily living right alongside humans. Good for photographers.
