Day 4, Common Gallinule, Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Centre


I churned out (at least, that is what it felt like) 25 new photos this afternoon, all taken at the Leonabelle Turner Birding Centre on 22 March 2019. This was such a great place to visit - would recommend it to anyone! We were so lucky to have sunshine while we were there, too.
Day 4, 22 March 2019, was a day of birding and also driving from Rockport, where we had stayed for three nights, to Kingsville, where we were going to stay for two nights at the Hampton Inn. All of these 25 photos were taken at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Centre, on the edge of the Port Aransas Nature Preserve. We really enjoyed this birding centre and their new boardwalk and tower. Lots of birds; even a huge Alligator.
From an article published on 2 January 2019:
"Work on a new boardwalk is underway at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center. The old structure was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. A 700-foot replacement will connect the birding center to the Port Aransas Nature Preserve at Charlie’s Pasture. It’s the first new construction to take place in the preserve since the hurricane.
The new boardwalk, which will cost about $670,000, is more than a replacement, according to officials. It will be the first leg of future boardwalks designed to link sections of the preserve for better wildlife viewing.
It is being built of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene grating rather than wood, which will make it stronger and less likely to be damaged by future storms. Because it is not buoyant, waves will crash through it and not lift it. At 7 feet above the surface, the new boardwalk is 2 feet higher than the previous structure."
