Thanks for all the emails asking if I were still alive. It’s been a while since I’ve posted and with a couple of posts disappearing, many have asked. We were in the process of moving to a whole new server farm and with all the websites and all the content, getting everything moved, new databases established took days. That’s why some posts disappeared, I posted on the old site after the database was moved. So all is well here.
The past week we’ve been on the TX coast looking for and photographing birds. To be honest, it was a challenge! Some of the old locales which use to be so shorebird and wader rich were literally no more than dirt lots! Numbers on the beaches were well down as well. We found birds and had a great time, but it simply wasn’t the same. Above is a flock of spring skimmers that were hanging out. Love watching them fly, such a great nature pattern on the wing. mtc
