Makes me want to paddle Texas one of these days. Especially as the days up here get shorter and colder but before cross-country skiing. <grin> What an incredible range for our larger birds. I scared a Blue Heron out of his hiding place on my Sunday paddle. Bald eagles are now everywhere. And egrets (what a lovely bird) spend a lot of time here in the spring but they seem to disappear by August. The Sandhill Cranes come through in spring and fall and they are just now showing up. I wouldn't be surprised if you got those down there. By the way, it was interesting to see what a dam in Texas looks like. This is what a dam up here looks like: http://users.owt.com/chubbard/gcdam/highres/dam01.jpg (Grand Coulee Dam... about 1.5 hrs north of me). You don't see many people hanging around below the spillways on this one. <grin> This is what it looks like when the spillways are open: http://users.owt.com/chubbard/gcdam/highres/dam09.jpg So much water.... so little time to paddle much more than a trickle of it!
