Herons & Egrets of Rockport, Texas


		Herons & Egrets of Rockport, Texas Rockport, Texas April 10, 1007 Yesterday we stopped for a few hours in the small town of Wadsworth and took our Saturn to the famous fishing village of Matagorda. A travelogue of that area is here: Matagorda & Palacios, Texas Our motorhome is in the Lyons Park the City owned Campground in Refugio, Texas. Jeffey City Park also known as Lions Park in Refugio has about 20 full hookup sites with 30-amp for $12 per-night located on West Empresario Street. You can call the city for information 526-5361 (sorry no area code) or you can just find a spot and someone from the city will be around to collect the $12. It is a real nice park as far as we are concerned but it may not have bathrooms and showers if you need that. Today was an exciting day, it really was. We visited three other places and made three other travel logs covering those adventures, you can access them here: Refugio, Texas Goose Island Oak or "Big Tree" At Goose Island State Park.....it is the Texas Champion live oak tree Mustang Island and Port Aransas via a ferry Great Blue Heron & Snowy Egret at Rockport Marina Meanwhile, back in Rockport the easy life goes on. Great Blue Heron Docks around shrimp boats offer a great opportunity to view birds like these great blue herons. The smaller white bird is a snowy egret. Notice the snowy egrets yellow feet.
