Decided to give my loyal readers a break from all the running posts – and by “deciding” I mean bowing to the crap load of hate emails and phone calls I have received from those of you that believe the only running distance worth completing begins with a 0 and ends with a 0 with a single period between them. The good news is we can turn this post into a win win. First off, I spare you the last remaining run post and instead feature another catch while on our Texas Gulf Coast Birding Trip back in December 2017 – on the 30th to be exact so just a few days from the current year. This makes this an extremely fresh post based on my normal wildlife recollections. Recently I was offered the opportunity to speak at our local camera club. Their president saw my speech to the local Audubon Society and thought the camera club would enjoy it as well. This has added to the overall whirlwind of activities that has been consuming me over the last two months (if you have been reading my posts, you are well aware of how I’ve been struggling to get posts out). With the completion of the season’s last scheduled half marathon trail run past Saturday (yeah) this is the final task on my to-do list ahead of my favorite day Halloween. The win on my part is this post allows me to pad my bird count by an extra tick before speech – yep, this is another new bird!
