Lewisville Lake Park Campground

We didn't spend too much time, physically, in Lewisville, but the time we did spend was just walking around the campground and enjoying the birds and the view of the lake. Here are just some of my photos...
This yellow bird was intrigued by the bright kite caught high in the tree...









This grackle caught himself a baby turtle for a snack...









I'm not sure what kind of birds these are. I think a type of swallow, but if anyone knows - please let me know!









The following pictures are of the scissor-tailed flycatcher - beautiful with their long, long forked tails and orange underparts...
























I knew this mockingbird was up to something...they always are, aren't they? So I waited for him to pounce on this unsuspecting squirrel.

















A female grackle was trying to collect some material for her nest. She struggled with this ball of fishing line before finally giving up and taking a piece of grass instead. I thought I would have to do a rescue if she got herself tangled during her dancing...














Here are some general photos from the campground. It was a nice place to stay:




















There was a rock garden...reminded me of picking out shapes in clouds. What does this look like to you?
