South Llano River State: Park
Junction, Texas
April 23 and 24, 2007.
We are staying in Junction
at South Llano State Park. Water & 30-amps $15 plus $2 each for park entry
fee. Located 5-miles south of Junction
on the South Llano River. We like to stay here for the wildlife and birding.
We
started our day in Kerrville
when we connected the Saturn to our motorhome and headed west to Junction
a journey of only 60-miles or so. Junction is one of our favorite Hill Country
towns. There are so many things we like about Junction.
We will share some of them with you.
South Lland River State Park is located
less than 10-miles south of Junction,
Texas off US-377.

This field of verbina is located in South Llano State Park.
One of the attractions at this park is sitting on the side of fields like this
watching deer (white tail & axis) feeding as well as turkey wandering through
the flowers.

too this picture from a viewing station with a glass window provided by the state
park so that visitors can sit in the viewing room and watch the wildlife without
disturbing them.
Sitting in this viewing station is a real experience. It
is very close to this watering station plus park volunteers stop by from time
to time and replinish the near by feeders. It is totally amazing to be able to
view all the wildlife that visit this place.

Wild turkey in South Llano State Park Junction,
Texas
This
tom turkey came strutting by one of the blinds enabling Joyce
to get this picture. We must have seen 20 or more tom turkey strolling by the
blind during our stay in South Llano State Park. If you enjoy wildlife you will
enjoy this park. The park staff keep humming bird feeders on the front porch of
the office where campers check in. Someone told me they had to fill the quart
containers on each feeder twice a day. Can you say humming birds are flocking
to those feeders like bees. Park visitors, including us, like to sit on the front
porch of the park office and watch the commotion created by hundreds of humming
birds all jockeying for position at one of the six feeders.
Wild
turkey in field of verbina at South Llano State Park Junction,
Texas
All
of the wildlife action at South Llano State Park is not in the bird blinds. We
watched this tom turkey in a field of verbina strutting his stuff. He was several
hundred yards away from us so that explains why this was not a closeup.
