Road trip day!! We drove to Galveston to check out the cleanup and restoration progress. Things are looking pretty good, considering! We continued up the beach to Surfside....WOW!! Still a big portion of the highway is washed out... had to drive on the beach for several miles...didn't have go into 4 Wheel Drive because the sand is so packed due to many, many people driving on the sand.
We went on to Brazoria NWR to see if the pavilion Mike worked on last winter survived Hurricane Ike. IT DID!!! We were too late to see any one we worked with last winter but did tour the refuge. There is almost NO water in the marshes so not many birds. The Sandhill Crane count was way down this year because of the water situation. Hard to believe they had a major hurricane and still have no water.
