Parking for Feathers

Now that we have bicycles, (Mine's a bright orange w/ white-wall tires :o) )

Ru and I  have been putting around the 'hood here and there...

Two nearby parks could be deemed

A birding junkie's emergency "fix"...

The sports park, where the monk parakeets hang out,

Did have the monks "chanting" at the top of the field net recently...

Not good lighting but hey, proof of the parakeets

(Also called quaker parrots)...

At the other park, I followed a tri-colored heron as it fished...

Or tried to...

This pair of awesomely colored ducks was cruising about...

I was hoping it was a legitimate breed

But looks like they're a hybrid...?

Nothing in N American bird guides anyway...

An aside...the house we made an offer on, didn't pan out; we had to drop the bid...

We were disappointed but deep down knew that house wasn't really for us

Despite how much I looooved being so close to Ollie Pond....

Good news is, we're making an offer on another house, still in Charlotte Co.,

So everyone cross your fingers, your toes, and your eyes for us! Happy Thoughts!
