Saturday/Sunday

 

Saturday, our friends Ron and Linda moved into the site they just bought next door to us.  Ron is the guy we get to claim as our oldest living friend.

 

Judy and I drove down to Riviera Sunday, and birded from there over to Baffin Bay and north.  It was a nice sixty-five bird day.  The highlight for us was a flock of common ground doves.  Got spragues pipits and scissortail flycatchers too.

 

Monday, a follow-up visit with the leg doctor.  We’re healing well.  For the first time he didn’t have to cut out any new black stuff.  We may really be past the infection.  Still on antibiotics indefinitely though.  Whistling ducks in our pond.  A long billed dowitcher.  A couple snipe.  We have hummingbirds again.

 

Louisiana Waterthrush at Paradise Pond.  The weather is great.
