Add to the bird list American Pelicans, brown thrasher, osprey, red-winged blackbird, Great-Tailed Grackle, Killdeer, Coots, Caracara. And for a crowning touch--a flock of turkey skulked through the campground during our morning Molly walk.
Later when we were driving back into the campground (we went out to try and get some adapters to air up the tires; the ones Ed had were not compatible with the pumps at Love's truck stop), I saw a pair of Great Horned Owls, just sitting out in the daylight in a tree by the road. Mind you, it was a cloudy and misty day, so maybe they thought it was twilight. Silly birds.
We also stopped at a couple of stores to try and find a replacement charcoal grill. The campground host at the park check-in station had warned me not to leave the grill out at night because the Javelina might tear it up. And I had ignored her. As it turned out, it didn't even take an overnight. They swooped thorugh the campground in the hour or so after Ed had finished cooking and knocked the grill over while the coals were still hot. No danger of fire--the ground was very damp. but I'm surprised the silly things didn't learn their lesson sooner--hope they did this time.
My typical view of a Javelina:
