One year ago…

I got stiffed in Estabrook Park this morning, and I even tried the lakefront in hopes of showing you one of the loons that folks have been seeing there, but they were much too far from shore for my equipment. Instead, let me show you a couple of pictures from this day last year when Anne and I were in Big Bend National Park.

One of my favorite sights was this roadrunner that Anne found for me, and here are a couple of pictures of it, which I haven’t shown you yet, with a grasshopper in its beak and demonstrating the versatility of its head feathers.

Finally, here’s another look at the javelina I encountered while Anne was off at the store picking us up some lunch.

I see that the snow is supposed to start late tonight and continue all day tomorrow, so maybe I’ll have something pretty to show you in the morning. Wish me luck!
