Some people have skeletons in their closet.
But not us!
Covid hair
My commitment to pandemic social distancing. Didn’t come face to face with a barber for a year!
Now Judy and I have our shots, and our friend Joe has his shots, with masks and social distancing in his shop. No reason not to get my hair cut again now. Except I couldn’t pull the trigger. I don’t mind the long hair. I kind of like it. We opted for a clean-up.
I didn’t want to cut it off.
Sometimes
Birds just have to preen.
Or sleep.
Before and After
Primarily, we’re logging birds this year. In addition, though, we’re paying attention to which counties we’ve already reported birds in. The goal, of course, being to report at least one bird in every county in the state; Texas being the most difficult state, because it has 254 counties.

After.
This is starting to look doable.
We popped in and out of New Mexico on this trip as well.

After.
Only 7 counties remaining!
Along the way
Now we’re home. We splattered dots all over West Texas and the Panhandle.
Started the trip at 239 species for the year. Ended with 277. 38 birds; and a lot of those we wouldn’t have gotten in the Valley all year. We’re happy with the result. Next up, migration along the coast in April.
