Lots of cute geese pics and beautiful nature shots. Besides the movie, the DVD, available at the Kerrville library, has the above UltraGeese documentary and another called Operation Migration : Birds of a Feather. Both were made before the Whoopers efforts.
Insider Tips -
# 1 : Walk the River Oaks Court's short loop trail to the river. Relax at the wooden tables and chairs or just a few feet further walk down on the river's edge. Absorb the nature's sights and sounds as you relax in the vintage red chairs.
# 2 : The Native Plant Garden was installed by Medina Gardens & Nursery. Walk over 3 acres of trails designed for butterflies and other pollinators. No one knows the local plants better - or is friendlier - than Ishmael !
We love hearing from you!
