BlueRavenBirders

What with a vacation, a 60th wedding anniversary, my dad’s birthday and eventually a funeral I ended up spending first a week in Texas (airline there and back) only to spend one day at home and load up the car and daughter and drive back, for another two weeks including driving there and back. Inevitably I saw a variety of birds here, there and in between.
