We stopped late one evening at Aransas NWR. It is the home of America's tallest bird, the Whooping Crane. Before we could get away from the visitor center Diane noticed this Tropical Kingbird perched in a nearby tree. I was getting ready to take his picture when he swooped out and grabbed supper. Aransas NWR, located close to Rockport, Texas, is 59,000 acres ringed by tidal marshes and broken by long, narrow sloughs. It has grasslands,live oaks, and redbay thickets in which 390 different species of birds have been seen. Again, the Tropical Kingbird can only be seen in the USA in southern Texas.
