All better.
Sunday
Spent the morning birding Sandia, Orange Grove, and Hazel Bazemore Park northwest of Corpus Christi. Saw lots of birds, anhinga, white tailed kite, sharp shinned hawk, merlin, sandhill crane, american oystercatcher, black necked stilt, least sandpiper, monk parakeet, greater roadrunner, vermilion flycatcher, green jay, blue gray gnatcatcher, long billed thrasher, and curve billed thrasher included. Cool morning. Sunny warming day. Dinner at Snoopy’s. Nothing but seventies and eighties in the forecast. Here’s a picture of the monk parakeets.
February
January weather is gone. Days like today I don’t have to put shoes on at all, unless we go out to dinner. Today, a celebration. Jerry’s seventieth birthday. I’ll put shoes on for that. Got the wood thrush at Paradise Pond yesterday.
Poor Annie
Poor Annie is sick. She and Judy were up all night. Today, they had to go to the doctor. The doctor gave Annie a couple shots to help with the bodily functions she couldn’t control, and some I.V. fluids for the dehydration. She’ll be okay, but she has a bug that has to run its course. She should be fine by Monday.
February
It’s busy season at work. That makes it busy here too. The days fly by. So do the weeks.
