Again!
Another overcast day with lots of drizzle.
According to the other residents here, everyone is miserabel about the weather.
People who have camped here for years said that they experienced winters with nice warm weather.
Only last year was the first season that brought more colder and damp weather. One guy, that Peter talked with, is also fed up and considering moving on to Yuma, AZ. The other said he would weather it out, the west is too dusty.

Despite the drizzle I decided to go back to the Salineño Wildlife Preserve, a few miles from here.
I wanted to check it out just one more time before we are pulling out of here.
And I am glad I did.
The host let me sit under the awning of his trailer
and I could use my tripod and watch the birds flocking around.
Such a treat! It definitely brightened my day!
Some of the tropical species are nowhere else to find in the US than
right here in the southwestern corner of Texas.
They are birds of South America.
Here is my list of the day:
