Birds adapt as Celia's winds test coastal wildlife
Hazel C. Green recounts Kay McCracken's account of Hurricane Celia in 1970, noting birds returned to feeders and roosts post storm while wildlife largely survived. Aransas Refuge and Texas Parks report mixed damage to man-made facilities but little wildlife loss. The piece contrasts high property damage and low human fatalities with historic Galveston losses.
