Port a


Santa Clause found us while we were in the Davis Mountains. I got a birding
telescope. Judy got a new tripod. Coincidentally, the scope and the tripod
match and can be used together. We got to use them both today. We drove
fifteen miles down the national seashore beach to Yarborough Pass, crossed
the four-wheel drive road through the dunes to the Laguna Madre side, pulled
over for lunch, and scoped some birds. A nice day in the sun. A fifty-bird
day.

We stood and watched a least grebe feeding in the water right at our feet.
He was so cute!
