Texas - Birds at our feeder/Lake Corpus Christi

We finally got a sunny day and took advantage of it.  We hiked around the lake edges and were amazed at the shallowness of this lake.  The docks and boat ramps are so far from the water that a person can't launch to be on the lake.

hard to fish when the pier isn't even over the water

some kind of lake creature that probably succumbed to the raccoons - note the teeth


It is sad to see the rivers, streams and lakes so devoid of water.  This lake is 25 - 30 feet low.  So we don't dare complain when there's a few rain days.

We have noticed a lot of bird life, so Clark and I rigged up a couple of makeshift bird feeders.  We have been blessed with cardinals, doves, titmouse, and this morning green jays.  We also have to deal with a squirrel!  Last night at supper we saw six deer grazing in the adjoining field.  Great supper time entertainment.

looks like he was put together by a committee!
