Hello everyone! We're still here in South Padre Island and finding new things to do each week. The picture above was from last Sunday at the Birding Center. Then below are the kids at Pirate's Landing.
Antonio's love for birds of prey continues to grow, as you can see in the picture below (that would be a vulture and a parrot) --pretty well done huh?! We thought so! This kid is destined to be some kind of biologist, zoologist or an "vultureologist" if that exists!
We went to the Gladis Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas on Wednesday. Believe it or not, it was a very pleasant surprise! Apparently the zoo's namesake is the daughter of JC Penny and I imagine she's funneled quite a bit of money into that zoo. The exhibits are very well done and maintained. The animals seemed pretty happy there (as can be seen from the Gorilla below!). It beat its chest and splashed around in the water, drawing quite a bit of a attention.
My favorite by far though was the cockatoo. What a bird!!! So beautiful and with its flamboyant personality we were just raving at the show he put on for us! It was love at first sight...
So, now I know what I want for my next birthday. A cockatoo!
Of course we can't send a post without sunrises right?
