Anytime I visit High Island Texas, I can’t pass up an opportunity to stop by the Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary. I’ve never been disappointed with the times I’ve spent there. During my June 2023 visit, I was treated to a confrontation between a 12 foot alligator, and a somewhat smaller one. The smaller gator got away, but not before the big boy made his point.
