History by roadside…
Did you know?
That the following was published in the 1929 Mopac advertising booklet… Bird Island, in the Laguna Madre, a strip of water between the Valley mainland and Padre Island, is a government bird-controlled sanctuary.
Here millions of sea gulls and other birds live in a carefree, undisturbed life.
Photo shows Bill Vogt, world champion fisherman, when he visited “Bird Island” after a successful tarpon fishing outing off Point Isabel.
Never had heard of bird island
