These photos of the beautiful fall colors in Lost Maples speak for themselves. We were blessed with a beautiful cool Texas day. The park was busy as this was Thanksgiving weekend and families were out enjoying the beautiful weather. The maples are so colorful as well as the sycamore and sumac. The natural grasses and lichen kept catching my eye as you can tell by my photography. I hope you can get a sense of the beauty we were privileged to see.
I love this Park. I have visited the bird blind many times in past years. My husband and I look forward to viewing birds that we do not see in our area. When we arrived workers were cutting boards with an electric saw and doing other repairs to the blind. We were not sure we would see many birds. We sat down with binoculars and soon we were delighted to see the Rufous-crowned Sparrow, Spotted Towhee, Lesser Goldfinch,Dark-eyed Junco,and other winter birds of this area. We also saw Carolina Wren, Northern Cardinal,White-winged Dove,Chipping Sparrow,Carolina Chickadee,Black-crested Titmouse. We love to camp here or just come for a short day visit. This park is always fun and birding is good. We also visited Blanco State Park for the first time. The bird viewing area is very nice there. This is a small park with beautiful river setting. Texas State Parks are beautiful and we certainly enjoy them.
