Aransas Wildlife Refuge

Our second trip to Aransas Wildlife Refuge was a smashing success! Last time we saw a wide variety of birds, but not much else. This time we saw heron, egrets, deer and several enormous alligators! One of the alligators was "playing" with a large carcass about the size of a deer, batting it around and tossing it in the air. The alligators were the thrill of the day since there was nothing between us and them except their well-worn paths. We snapped some pictures and then pretty much high-tailed it out of there!
