Port Lavaca Lighthouse Beach Park

We had storytime today and then an appt. at the Dodge dealership in Port Lavaca. We had plenty of time before the appt. so we went to the Lighthouse Beach Park in Port Lavaca. They have a board walk and Large Gazebo out over the water that is pretty nice. I wanted to try to get some decent photos of the wildlife and birds there. It was early afternoon and quiet HOT so we didn't stay long....but below are some of the photos I took.
White Ibis. A rather ugly bird if you ask me...

Light house.

Great Egret in flight.
I was actually trying to get some photos while he/she was fishing but we got to close and he/she flew off so I did a quick shot!!

Close up of the Great Egret.


Michael walking/running to Gazebo.

This is the best photo I took of Michael today, I love it!! He's really studying something...

Oil Rig that is out in the bay.

Bridge between Port Lavaca and Port Comfort.

Great Egret again...

Hermit Crab, I think?

It's a crab that is for sure and Michael pointed these out to me...the ones I was looking at kept darting in their holes and I wasn't having much luck getting photos...

As you can see the one above was getting ready to dive in...

The bird above is either a Dowitcher, or Godwit...I am not really up on my shore birds...lol

Although this is HB in her element....I am loving the architecture....lighthouse, gazebo and the bridge. Thanks for the tour!
