Hiding among the larger Willets, oystercatchers and gulls loafing on the docks, were a few dowitchers. My drive away from Aransas NWR on Wednesday (2021-03-03) ended when I reached Galveston. I pulled off the freeway at Tiki Island, where it was my good fortune to meet Dennis Jones, a Coast Warden for Texas Audubon, as he was loading his boat onto its trailer. He was generous enough to offer to take me with him on his rounds to monitor nesting islands in West Bay.
