Wildlife along the trails at Anahuac

With temps in the 70s it has been a nice couple of January days to enjoy mosquito-free trails in comfort.

At Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge the alligators must still be sleeping because the frogs felt safe enough to sun by the piers.

We saw a Double-crested Cormorant come up with a fish it had speared.

The fish also caught the attention of a Great Blue Heron, which swooped over the Cormorant a couple of times as it swam away with its fishing prize.

When it had trouble swallowing the fish, the Cormorant decided to take it around the bend. The heron followed.

I don't know which bird won the battle, but the fish was definitely a loser.

Lunchtime drama.

The stalker.

And there were plenty of sparrows flitting up, down and all around.

I see you see me see you.
