Waterfowl at YLR

It was a beautiful morning Thursday at Younger Lagoon with a wide variety of waterfowl and other birds out and about.

A pair of white tail kites were harassing a marsh hawk then perched on the a wire fence and coyote bush.

I found this piece of garter snake on the trail.  It had been eaten up by something.

    There can be only one reason for such an outing -- you were refreshing your brain and getting inspiration to work on the manuscript. Good on you!

      Yeah, gave the manuscript to my Advisor and headed out for a little simple adventure. Got the draft back on Friday with mark-ups and spent the long weekend on draft 2. Back on the boss man's desk so a few days to breath again before draft 3.
