Red Winged Blackbirds and a Significant Other

This place is full of these birds filling the air with their churrr and flute-o-phone-like calls. Of course, the colorful arm patch, like a soldier's mark of rank, makes them easy to identify.

On the Road Again!

We are on the move once again. With a cat-sit booked in Santa Fe, two Covid shots in our arms (and the additional two weeks need to be fully immunized), we filled the CR-V and hit the road. Along the way we stopped in Boise, ID. Not far from there, along the Snake River, lies the Ted Trueblood Wildlife Area. A spot filled with ponds and marshy bits that attracts birds and other wildlife.
