Went out today on Galveston Island. Got in between deluges. On Stewart
Rd, just past 8mi Rd is a large fresh water pond on the north side.
There were 15 Oyster catchers within a hundred foot strip along the near
bank. I counted them twice, I had never seen so many in one place, and
never on fresh water before. None were banded that we could determine.
Quite a sight.
Just across the road a pair of reddish egrets were busy doing their 'Big
Bird' feeding dance.

On further down 8mi, and on Sportsman Rd there were a myriad of Herons
(Green, Blue, Tri-colored, black Crowns) many Great Egrets, and
Spoonbills. Couple of White-tailed Kites. Quite a morning.
