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. Wading birds and cormorants abound, and lots of nesting takes place. I couldn’t resist capturing a picture of this turtle with a dragonfly perched on his nose.
