…into obscurity. I’ve gone back to work. I still walk each day and we see a few birds, but at this reduced rate, our ranking has fallen from our high of number 57. That burst of intense birding for the first 10 days of the year got us a place on the leaderboard, but not for long. Yours truly, Number 83
In my continuing efforts
…to capture the moment,

I sometimes capture a moment I didn’t intend. A cool looking snake
…in the brush at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge last week.

It’s either a harmless Mexican Milk Snake …or a deadly Texas Coral Snake… The good news is
…the Broncos won their playoff game against San Diego tonight. That was so exciting. The bad news is… the Broncos won their playoff game against San Diego tonight. Now we have to go through this all again next Sunday. We’re a mess!
Nothing like a change of scenery
…to boost a bird count. A few hours of birding different habitat over the course of two days resulted in 24 new year-birds. Our new year-count is now 155. A bonaparte’s gull in the middle of a bunch of black skimmers in the morning mist, marbled godwit, semipalmated plover, whimbrel, long billed curlew, black bellied plover, and common yellowthroat. 
We’re back at Sandpipers in Edinburg in time for football on the big screen. This is great. Four playoff games, and the Broncos and Chargers are the last to play. That means I can enjoy football all weekend before there is any danger of football being a stupid game this week. Yours truly, Number 57
