Bugs, Birds, and Walls in South Texas

A border fence. I'm parked on the south side.

This is pretty easy to climb.

The Rio Grande, a railroad across the border, and a boat ramp used by the Border Patrol and drug smugglers.

This camera and red-tailed hawk keep an eye on the border. In fact, The Border Patrol was watching me on the camera and they came to visit with me. The guy was nice.
