DAY 18--MARCH 30?Corpus Christi
I had heard about two wildlife parks with birds. Los Osos was a small pocket park with nothing to see. But, Hans Suter Wildlife Park was awesome!
We saw lots of white pelicans (Picture 1). In Picture 2, we didn?t know if this was ?LOVE? or ?WAR?. The only pelicans in my book are brown or white; these multi-colored pelicans baffled me (Picture 3). I learned later that this is a male pelican in his courting plumage. He was so handsome, I?m sure the ladies will be impressed.
This bird that most resembles the Great Egret is supposed to have a yellow beak, and instead it looked pink with black at the end (Picture 4). Don?t these birds know they have to meet specifications? I?ll have to find a birder to give me an answer.
The Hans Suter Park was what I imagined the Gulf Coast would be. There was a wonderful variety of birds, and it was exhilarating to be able to see so many of them up close. The ?WOW! Factor? here is huge! We will come here again and again and again. I loved it!
