I’ve still got some stragglers from recent trips to Anahuac NWR. And whywhywhy do I not have anything clever to say anymore? Maybe one day I’ll be back to the old Johnny Nutcase.<\/p>\n

So, that Seaside Sparrow, as mentioned in another post, was a bit of a weirdo. He and a bud were all hanging out on the rocks like they actually wanted their photos taken.<\/p>\n

Seasides don’t do that, who do they think they are!?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Black-bellied Whistling Ducks<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

For some reason, I was actually able to get photos of Black-bellied Whistling ducks, which is also weird.<\/p>\n

Because I seem to have pretty horrible luck with duck photos for whatever reason.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

King\/Clapper Rail hybrid<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

The rail was pretty fancy. I was able to stare him down for about ten minutes (why don’t I have more photos?) while he snarfed up some tasty treats.<\/p>\n

There was a Great Egret and a Tri-colored hanging out in the same area, with some terns in and out also. Good fishing spot I presume.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, I had a hard time identifying this guy and so I’ve been told it’s a Clapper\/King hybrid. Or as some nerds refer to it: Cling Rails. I’m not that level of dork, so I will not fondly refer to said rail as a Cling, I just can’t do it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
