Just getting set-up here on South Padre Island. Yesterday, at the Convention Center boardwalk, the immature Purple Gallinule was sunning itself in the open along the boardwalk between the two east pools. A Neotropic Cormorant was also seen at the bay end of the boardwalk -- our first on the island.
