Sand patterns

A buffer behind the dunes, built up at great effort with tractors and loaders; dunes which are then elaborately sculpted by the erosion of wind and rain.

I saw a statistic

It said:

“Men are twice as likely as women to have a hearing problem,

but only half as likely to admit it.”

What?

We looked at blackbirds

First, we found a place with plenty of them.  The grain silos around Progresso are a good place to start.

A lot of them were red-winged blackbirds.

There were brown-headed cowbirds.

Bronzed cowbirds.

And our target for the day, the yellow-headed blackbird, in the center of this frame, to the right of the pole.

He was being reclusive.
