The Necessity of Unnecessary
Wednesday, June 4, 2008
My mom and I ran out to Unnecessary Island, in the lower Laguna Madre, Tuesday morning to see how the nesting birds were doing there. Lots of birds! Certainly a Necessary Island if I've ever seen one. The terns and gulls were either still sitting on eggs or feeding chicks, the pelicans were just about to fledge and the spoon bills were flapping around the tree tops. My mom's boat couldn't quite get close enough for the shots I was hoping for, but here are a few I did manage to take.
