Just wanted to thank Mel, Jon and Larry for the up-dates they provided last week. Those of us who live in the north have a long drive and the information they provided was priceless. Because of Texbirds and coastal bend birders, my trip was a success. The Surfbird was a neat bird and one that had not found it's way onto my Texas list before last Saturday. The condition of the jetty, the guard rails, and concrete sidewalks, makes the $12.00 parking fee very worth while. Money going where is should!
