Hard birds December, 15,

Become easy birds.

It’s hard to find common goldeneyes, greater scaup, and hooded mergansers in way south Texas.  It’s not impossible, but it takes some patience, travel, and looking.

Here, in different habitat, some hard birds get easier.  Like:

Common Goldeneyes.

Greater Scaup (and a clark’s grebe).

Hooded Mergansers (with a bufflehead in the background).

We don’t normally boondock

  But this time it seemed like the best choice.   We’re in Parker, AZ.    Parker Map   We’re going to visit with Judy’s sister Sue and her husband John, and maybe sister-in-law Barbara if she comes too.  Sue and John have a house on the river.  It’s a cool place to be.   Susie’s house   Me, I have an all-day continuing education class on the computer tomorrow.  For that I’ll need the best internet I can get.  If we drop down to an RV Park in the canyon by the river, we’ll lose our signal, so here we are, on the high ground.  Everything should work!   I’ll report back.

The best of intentions?

  You want to do something nice.   You’re feeling charitable.   What to do?   I know, A fundraiser to help a children’s home!  We’ll raffle off an assault rifle!   After all, what could say “help the children” better than distributing military grade weapons?
