I finally found some great places in SE Texas to take bird photos that appear to me to be as productive as the Florida locations. The Anahuac NWR and High Island Sanctuaries are about 25 miles apart and about an hour east of Houston. Here are a few from this week at the rookery at Smith Oaks Sanctuary on High Island.
