Sorry I've not yet caught up on browsing BF. And soon I'll be off line for a couple of days while traveling. But I will get caught up again, possibly later today. Meanwhile, here's one last direct report from my travels: I've caught a cold :( I'm on the mend, though, and hopefully my flights won't be too uncomfortable. Spent a lovely day out at South Padre Island yesterday where I saw the last of my 38 lifers this trip - a Loggerhead Shrike - just as I was walking back to my car. But for today I'll post this set about a non-lifer, a Greater Yellowlegs preparing for take-off. First step: bath.
