We decided to drive the 30 minutes to Estero Llano Grande State Park to see how this park survived the flooding. Happily it was open and seemed to have survived the flooding fairly well. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed walking around the park with our neighbours John, Carol and dog Caitlin.

Common Pauraque. These birds sleep on the ground during the day, this one was under a bush just off a path. The Pauraque's colouring is its protection --- it's really hard to spot among the leaves and branches.
Hummingbirds are one of my favourite birds. This little guy was busy eating and flying around. John, in his red shirt, was buzzed several times.
