My two favorite things about Rollover Pass were the terrific variety of birds and how little they cared about my car. As long as I stayed inside the vehicle and just shot out the window, I was just another part of the scenery to them while they scurried around looking for food. That proximity balanced out the impact of the cloud cover on the overall lighting.
Male Ruddy Turnstone
Willet
Sanderling
American Oystercatcher who clearly likes to accessorize. Three bands!
Female Ruddy Turnstone
Laughing Gull
Brown Pelican with sleeping Cormorants
I would definitely classify Rollover Pass as a target-rich environment. And I hear that the nearby Yacht Basin Road and Texas City Dike are also wonderful. That means I have two other places to visit when I return, because I'll definitely be back!
