A superb Bald Eagle, near the public boat-ramp at Anahuac, this evening

Most of Day 2 of our Great American Birding RoAd Trip was taken up with flying from Manchester to Texas – a rather turbulent experience for most of the four hours from the Canadian border to Houston! We arrived at about two thirty and finally departed the airport, in our brand new Hyundai Tucson hire car, for Winnie our base for the next three days, an hour or so later. We did manage to do a bit of birding on route, around Anahuac, clocking-up a total of 37 species, including a superb fly-by Bald Eagle.

We saw a few nice waders around Anahuac, including this nice Killdeer
