Steve and Judy's Travels!

Harris’s Hawk.

Another Southern bird.

Unique in that they hunt in packs like wolves.  Some will land and flush prey for others to pounce on, then they share the meal.

Like the black vulture, a southeastern scavenger, but even more southern.  Southern Arizona, South Texas, and a few in Florida.

…again, why isn’t Steve sending out more bird pictures?

Okay.  If you insist.

Black vulture.

It’s a lot like the Turkey Vulture, but while the turkey vulture is everywhere, the black vulture is more southeastern.

Years ago, it looked like this.

Abandoned.

A couple years later, even more worse for the wear.

There were local efforts to save the church and rehab it, but help didn’t arrive in time.  The remnants of a hurricane blew it down.

That was the last insult.  Money was donated.  Volunteers rebuilt the little historic Guadalupe Toreros Church.

That was a couple years ago.  We took a driveabout today to see how it’s doing.

Fully functional and cared for.

…at the puppy park when there are other dogs there.

Pressed up against mom.
