On Wednesday, we packed up at Brazos Bend and departed for the Corpus Christie area. This about a 3.5 hour trip, 228 miles total. Nice easy drive on mostly back roads - which still have a 70 or 75 mph speed limit! Also, it seems like every road or highway in Texas is under construction!
Mustang Island is a barrier island. The camping here is pretty much in a parking lot. Total opposite of Brazos Bend, and not someplace you really want to spend a lot of time just hanging out.

What we have been doing is bird watching like crazy! We did a bunch more watching at Brazos Bend before we left there, and saw several more species we had never seen before, and got amazing looks at some birds that are usually very secretive. I won't bore you all with them...but will post a few pics at the end.
Same thing today, and saw 3 or 4 more new species-to-us species. I suspect this will happen more and more as we enter new habitats and areas.
