Steve and Judy's Travels!

Native to Africa and nowhere else.

In the 1600s they were introduced to estates and parks, first in England and subsequently in many other countries.  They are thriving in Texas parks, but not always appreciated.

It came looking for me!  He was on the glass door looking in, so I had to go outside and photograph him.

A Tawny Emperor, I believe.  Midwest to East Coast and down south into Mexico.

…you forget where you parked your truck?

It’s crazy how many fulvous whistling-ducks we’ve seen this year!

It’s a coastal bird from here south, except when it winters in South America.

We watched every episode of Survivor 46.

It was good all the way down to the end.  The final three.  Then the jury picked the winner at the final tribal council.  That’s where it went wrong.  They picked the winner based on something that wasn’t even part of the game.  The “jury” awarded the title of Sole Survivor to the player that needed the money most, not the one that played the best game.  Outwit, outplay, outlast.  That’s what Survivor is purported to be about.  It doesn’t say anything about who needs the money for a fresh start.

I think Survivor needs to add a new feature: jury instructions before final tribal council.  Remind the people who just played and lost what the contest is supposed to be about.
