Not-Quite-Country Girl

Behind Kyler and Kara's house is a wonderful wetlands preserve, a fun place to take a walk and look for beautiful birds.

And for today's ornithology lesson, I present to you a pileated woodpecker.

This photo is from last April.  For the first spring since we moved onto the Gray compound (37 years ago), we are raising no baby chicks.

                    "We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

                    How about you, you, you?

                    You can come too, too, too

                    We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo."

You know I can't leave Baja without sharing some bird photos.

When I grow up I want to be a marine zoologist.

Kim and I are back home in Indiana after an incredible week of whale-watching and other sundry activities in Baja Mexico.

I got an early start for the 3-hour drive to southern Indiana for a wildlife adventure with my sister Barb.

I don't do Black Friday.  In general, I don't do any more shopping than absolutely necessary.

One last safari post...just a few more of the amazing animals and birds we encountered in the Chitabe reserve.
