Birds of Goose Island State Park

Goose Island State Park in Rockport, Texas is a great birding spot – even in a drought year like the present one. Between shorebirds and woods birds, there’s a great diversity of species and some years (although not this one) a rarity or two. Here are some captures of a few of the interesting feathered friends I’ve encountered in the last week.
