Thanks to LP at Estero for taking me out in a tram on two days. I saw more warblers than in the previous weeks at home. Neither day was gangbusters, but had some nice birds. My winter Texan friends have all migrated now, though some are still melting in place as new year-round Texans.
Events including the Simonis reunion and the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival are cancelled in 2020. This is the new normal, cancel everything. I would rather have an event cancelled than have to be too close to someone not wearing a mask. When did that become scarier than someone wearing a mask? A lot of the people on construction crews are wearing full masks with total neck coverage, like an overgrown buff.
As part of my feeling more chipper I went out to see the horses last week. It's been months. They haven't forgotten that I'm the keeper of the carrots. They also haven't finished shedding out, poor girls!
Not much new or different. Thanks for keeping tabs on me.
