Galveston (December 30, 2017)
Went down to Galveston Island today with my friend Jenny! We did a big tour of a bunch of different places, stopping only fairly briefly at each site - including a couple places I hadn’t been before!
Galveston Island State Park:
A big open coastal grassy marsh! Lots of Western Ragweed (Ambrosia psilostachya), really pretty orange Bushy Bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus), and other grasses interspersed with shrubby Brooms (Baccharis sp.) and Cherokee Bean (Erythrina herbacea). This area was astoundingly full of White-tailed Kites (Elanus leucurus), Loggerhead Shrikes (Lanius ludovicianus) and Yellow-rumped Warblers (Setophaga coronata) - that last in particular I was a bit surprised by given the lack of any real trees. Also lots of wading birds of all kinds! 
Lafitte’s Cove:
Interesting being here outside of migration. The ducks were pretty nice, and the woods were pleasant but nothing too crazy in terms of small birds. We did get a Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) which I’m never thinking about or expecting but which I always love! Lots more Cherokee Bean in here as well as  Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) and other woody trees - and a pretty large amount of the invasive Macartney’s Rose (Rosa bracteata). We also found some Earthstars (Geastrales), a 
8 Mile Road/Beach:
A really nice stop! We had a Clapper Rail (Rallus crepitans) dart across the road into grassy cover on the drive in, and both a Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) and two Common Loons (Gavia immer) in the open water off the fishing stop at the end of the road! All three species are really great birds that I wouldn’t have planned to rely on, and the last one in particular is of my favorite birds overall. :) 
Army Corp Woods:
A little quiet in terms of bird life, but very pretty in terms of plants! Dense shrubs of Carolina Laurelcherry (Prunus caroliniana), Southern Live Oak, and Brazilian Pepper-Tree (Schinus terebinthifolius) - the last another invasive. There were also a few Elms (Ulmus sp.) around, including at least one that I think I don’t know, as well as a Gaura (Gaura sp.) and a few other cute herbaceous flowering things!
Apfel Park:
Just a brief stop off here to pick off a few new shore and seabirds - Sanderlings (Calidris alba), Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres), a Caspian Tern (Hydroprogne caspia), and lots of other nice stuff! Someone had reported both a Parasitic Jaeger and a Little Gull here the day before, but they were seen far out over the water following ships, and it was foggy/rainy while we were here so we didn’t even really try for these very hard. It started pouring right before we left to see us off!

Earth Stars, Geastrum sp.  From the Wagga Wagga airport.
According to Wiki
"One member of the Geastraceae, Sphaerobolus stellatus—a nuisance organism in landscapes known as "shotgun fungus" or "cannonball fungus"—colonizes wood-based mulches and may throw black, spore-containing globs onto nearby painted surfaces." 
I'm pretty sure I've seen this, but couldn't figure out where all the marks had come from.
