  A woodpecker walk in W. G. Jones Forest State Park.  Mature pine trees.  We got seven birds.  We got the largest woodpecker (Pileated), and the smallest (Downy), and a couple in between (Golden Fronted, Red Bellied)  Didn’t get the target bird, the Red Cockaded Woodpecker.  Maybe Monday.   So far we’ve gotten thirty birds at the RV Park and seven birds at the place we go birding.  Maybe we should have parked the motorhome in the G. W. Jones Forest, and driven to the RV Park for birding walks.   Found Hey Boy’s Barbeque.   Here’s a picture of the pipit.   Monday: Satellite dish repair guy.  

The campground.  Brother David should recognize this.      

  Haven’t seen this view lately.  Full travel mode in a rest stop along a Texas highway Saturday.        

  Okay, we’re not actually in Conroe.  The Houston KOA North is in Montgomery, west of Conroe.  Nicely spaced sites.  Trails.  Duck ponds.  Little bridges.  Three hundred miles north of Port Aransas.   Took a walk around the RV park and got twenty different kinds of birds.  The highlight: twenty-five American pipits.  Tomorrow:  football.  Satellite dish repair; maybe.  Woodpecker birding; maybe.
