The
other things we saw on our nature hike at
Matagorda County Birding Nature Center (MCBNC) included creatures both great...
 |
| An American Alligator slides stealthily into the water without making a sound. |
and small...
 |
| An American Bullfrog sits on a log in a pond covered in duckweed. |
And one creature with with long ears and a fluffy white tale that can swim if need be...
 |
| A Swamp Rabbit, one of the largest members of the cottontail family, crosses the trail. |
I know, I was also surprised
when I read that, too!
We also saw beautiful scenery, so diverse, you might not think that all of these photos were taken in the same park, but they were.
 |
| Swampy Wetlands |
 |
| Colorado River View |
 |
| Pretty Pond |
And finally, I was delighted to see a few wildflowers hanging on.
 |
| Faded Texas Bluebonnets |
 |
| Wild Daisies |
 |
| Thistle |
I know you won't be surprised to learn that after our nature hike at MCBNC, we purchased a family membership pass. Who knows what kinds of things we'll see the next time we visit?
