Heron Lake State Park




We arrived at Heron Lake State Park a little before noon and drove around inspecting most of the camping areas. For one reason or another, most of them were not really suitable for our 32' fifth wheel (short spaces, really unlevel, etc.). We ended up at Blanco Campground and found one of the few spots left that wasn't a reservable spot. The sites in this campground all have water and electric, so we have to pay $4 per night (at the other parks, we've been able to find non-reservable sites with no hookups, so didn't have to pay anything). Since we'd filled up with water on the way into the park, we've just hooked up the electric.

Shortly after arriving and setting up, we set out the hummingbird feeder. It didn't take long at all before a male Rufous Hummingbird found it and staked out a claim, defending the feeder from all intruders!


Miles driven: 60.1

Thanks for sharing your pictures and stories with us. We have hummingbird feeders at home and hadn't thought about bringing them with us. That's a good idea. What kind of camera do you use?

I use an older FujiFilm PinePix 4900Zoom (6x optical zoom) digital camera. One of these days, I'm going to spring for one of those small (credit card size) digital cameras!

Well, of course, that should have been a FinePix, not PinePix!
