Today I’m happy-dancing in front of my computer,
listening to music, drinking caffeine and plowing through these past three days
of in-the-field photos.
Wednesday found me catching warbler and vireo migrants
at Lafitte’s Cove, lugging camera and lens and such for almost seven hours—a
statement of good tired.
Thursday found me slowly birding the Texas City dike, a
delightful day sighting the wonders of springtime plumage and mating behavior.
Friday took me on a ferry ride to Bolivar, Rollover
Pass, and up and over to Anahuac NWR.
The best nine hour day that gifted 1100 photos and six new lifers, including the sought-after Ruff!
And what better way for those nine hours to end than
walking the Anahuac garden boardwalk, listening to the song of Bobolinks moving
about the nearby trees, dressed in their beautiful yellow-and-black breeding
plumage.
Photos and stories of these three days will
unfold. But today is a wonderfully long
day of listening to music and sorting through some 45GBs of photos. (And no I won’t get through all of them today—but
oh, it is fun trying!)
I thought I'd pause and share my happy dance with the visual imagery
of this Lafitte’s Cove Summer Tanager:
Okay, Emily, I am officially jealous! All these sightings and 45 GB of photos, and a RUFF!
