I spent the day reorganizing the cabinets and washing clothes. We watched the Saint's loose the play off game, Boo Hoo!! It was too cold and windy to be out and about today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a more outside, kind of day.
Monday
It took most of the day to warm up enough to get a walk in, but at least we did have a good late afternoon walk, although we didn't see many birds.
We had Doves, Robins, Cardinals, American Goldfinch, Purple finches, and a Blue Jay eating their smorgasbord from the feeder at the camper. As much as they eat, they should be full and happy.
We watched the sky's colorful palate at sunset from the comforts of the camper.
Tuesday
It was another cloudy, windy day. We did a little shore bird watching, went out to eat Mexican, met Anita at Island View, watched a Celine Dion wanna be concert, or at least Lauren did. Anita and I went back to the room after a couple of songs.
Wednesday
We made it back to Camp Refuge with a full belly of breakfast buffet. It was a stay inside, rainy, windy day.
Thursday
The gigless gig continues due to the government shutdown. The sun was shining and the cold wind was blowing. We were able to get out late afternoon and get a little bit of walking in.
We sat on the back porch and watched for our Free Birds that we haven't seen in over a week. We didn't see them, but we did get to watch two Red-tailed Hawks circling overhead.
Friday
This beautiful day was spent walking and enjoying the outdoors. We made three hikes up and down Crane Lane and a round or two on the CL Dees Trail.
We checked out the Dusky Gopher Tadpoles in the tanks. Some of them were more photogenic than others.
We went looking for Chapman's Butterworts around the roost pond at the HQ Savanna. We didn't find them, but we did find evidence of another Crane mortality from the mean old Bobcat. We left the evidence undisturbed and will let Biology check it out next week.
And Yes, the Government Shutdown is over, for now. We will get back into our gig on Monday.
Saturday
We did our walking while waiting on our laundry on this beautiful, sunny day. We finally saw one of the Free Birds and an unbanded crane at the HQ pen. We sure were glad to see she is alive and well.
We did our Crane drive and saw a few Cranes.
We went to Grand Bay NWR, did a bit of hiking didn't see anything really exciting this trip.
