The most excitement planned for today was laundry and giving Zaph a bath.

About lunch time, the quiet of a Sunday afternoon was interrupted by shouts and running people. The border patrol were chasing some illegals through the park. One illegal ran by John and Carol's trailer and was almost tripped by Caity's rope. He was captured by our trailer. Ed had his camera out as he was taking some bird photos.

Ed and John talked to the border patrol guy and he said the border patrol was after a group of about 20 illegals. Only a couple of the illegals had run into our park.

Late in the afternoon, John spotted a couple of guys walking along the edge of the park and a few minutes later the border patrol helicopter was flying overhead and a border patrol truck was in the park. The illegals were apprehended.

Just the other day I had comments that I knew illegals went through the park but that I had not seen any personally. Guess that's not true anymore.

Ever since the corn was cut there are a lot of birds in and around our park and it was time to take some photos.
