As a Valentine Day treat, Bob and I took a boat tour to explore the diverse ecology of the Laguna Madre Bay.
Bob was ready to check out the birds. We saw many: Brown and white pelicans, Coots, Laughing Gull, Great Egrets, Osprey and the state bird of Texas the Mocking Bird.
The boat had a drag net and pulled up crabs from the sea.
Not the type of crab that gives us good crab legs to eat. Too small.
I think this was squid but I am not sure, could be wrong.
There was a pod of about 150 dolphins. These were twin babies.
I have lived in California a long time, but this is the most dolphins I have seen.
There were several shrimp boats.
And we were attached by a pirates ship. You too could become a pirate on this boat.
It was a windy trip but we saw so much it was really enjoyable.
