Shearwater remains litter the island with the carcasses picked clean, leaving just the wings, breastbone and girdle.

As a talked to a couple from Boston, new to birding, I spotted a Clapper Rail walking close behind us. Houston Audubon instituted a ‘no hunting’ policy and by July 1995, there were 50 heron nests on the island, protected from mammalian predators by the large alligators in the waterways. Clapper Rail.
