I'm at a kayaking festival but the winds are too strong to paddle, so I'm enjoying birding with a few friends. Are best bird so far was a female American redstart but we seen a few other warblers, indigo buntings - just females and immatures, pie-billed grebes, osprey, oystercatchers, rudy and red-headed ducks, avocets, hords of great blue herons standing about 12 feet apart out of the wind, roseate spoonbills and lots of the common gulls, terns, and shore birds. j<br /><br />Your site looks like the Taj Mahal of RV sites. Are you working next Thursday? I'll be passing through, although I don't think I'll get to stop at Anahuac.

And look at the wonderful place you ended up. When we volunteer, we give a lot to the facility where we work. They need to appreciate us and give us a good place to call home (and most of them do, but not all).John and Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796149970555679406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-16503438601706750112013-10-31T21:29:42.862-05:002013-10-31T21:29:42.862-05:00You scored on your new site.

When you know better you do better. Looking at a 5th wheel this time. Gonna take my time, give it a year to look around. I never realized there were so many possibilities. Like your houseless living.

They had probably never seen a REAL RV before and thought all campers were 'pop-ups'... That was why you were the FIRST VOLUNTEER they'd ever had.... Please, give Emma a pat & hug for us and enjoy that 'dinky' little place and THE TRUCK... Where will you put the BIRD-FEEDER?? No squirrels to FIGHT or RACKETY-COONS to wart Emma.... Y'all are in Volunteers Heaven !!!<br />On a note of caution: that is a PUBLIC PLACE, so keep everything put away & LOCKED UP, while you work....
