Travels of the Agnew Family for 2008.01.01 to 2010.01.31

I was starting to feel better today but had developed a case of cabin fever so we headed over to Bentsen State Park for a walk. Either our timing is bad (which is quite possible) or there just aren't as many birds here as there were last year. The Hawk Tower was our first destination and we found a group of bird watchers there but not a lot of exciting birds .... some sand pipers and ducks. Zaph however finds birds less interesting than birders who were inturn quite happy to pet him. One fellow was lying on the deck so Zaph was able to give him a couple of good wet kisses .... lucky fellow ...not. We continued our tour around the park and found more people who were happy to pet Zaph but still not a lot of birds. Zaph considered it a very successful walk.


Proof that there aren't as many birds this year ...... I know fox squirrels usually hang around feeders but down here the green jays usually chase them away.
