Durango

Our site in Durango. Once again, we get the big front yard.

Flowers

We have several guesses about the flowers. We all agree, the white puffs are dandelions.

So far we have lupin, carpet bugle, and blue bonnet guesses for the blue ones.

Leadville

Our RV Park in Leadville. The Leadville RV Corral. Not the nicest park, but it's handy, right in the middle of the city, and open all year.

We'd rate the park a 1 and the surrounding scenery a 10.

Weekend

Saturday was the Iron Horse Classic. Two thousand bicyclists whizzing past our campground, racing the steam train 52 miles uphill to Silverton. We stood next to the road and cheered them all on.

Sunday was the Indy 500. We watched the whole thing on television. After, we went out to wildcat canyon and got the cassin’s kingbird, along with clark’s nutcracker, jays, all three bluebirds, and vesper sparrow.

Monday we went to the junction creek campground and got grace’s warbler. The slam dunk, can't miss lead, actually worked! They were right where they were supposed to be, high in the ponderosa pines. Then we went to a park in Bayfield and got the cordilleran flycatcher. Two more new birds for us, along with lewis’s woodpecker, red naped sapsucker, lots of yellow warblers, a couple American redstarts, dark eyed junco, and chipping sparrow.

All three of the leads came off the same internet reference. That worked out well.

Tomorrow, thankfully, it's back to work, so we can get some relief from all this intense birding......

Weekend update

On Saturday, a batch of our mail caught up with us. Included in this mail was a jury summons to appear in person at at 8am, at the courthouse on Leopard Street, Corpus Christi, Texas, Tuesday, May 30th, or face a $1,000 fine.

It's May 29th.

We're in Colorado.

I plan to throw myself on the mercy of the court, by telephone, first thing tomorrow morning, Tuesday the 30th.

Campsite

Brother Bill was having trouble identifying the particular flower in the picture.

Maybe this will help.
