While visiting our oldest son Chris and his family in San Benito Texas we decided to visit Laguna Atascosa Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is on a major flyway and over 400 species of birds have been recorded. Although overcast and the wrong time of day we were able to see and photograph an Eastern Screech Owl seen at the left. He/she was nestled in a drain pipe from the roof of the visitor center. Below is another nice picture of a green jay as taken in the blind at the visitor center. And lastly, while driving through the park we got a picture of the quite ugly Turkey Vultures sitting in a tree. This is one of the few times we have seen them not flying and using the thermals looking for road kill.
