Up before daylight, drive to a f-mart for coffee and check my com. After trying unsuccessfully to upload my journal entries, I drive through Corpus Christi without stopping to connect to Texas highway 35, drive over Copano Bay causeway and into Goose Island State Park for a shower. After immersing myself in the hot, I drive onto the beach to check for birds but there are way too many people here.

So, I drive out to twelfth street and see both sandhill and whooping cranes nearly two hundred yards across the field here.
