The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

Mar 10th- A few of my favorite things...
~Not letting rain turn your plans upside down, except in raindrops
~Eating lunch watching the birds at Montezuma...the red-wing blackbirds are back!
~Finding a herd of deer dining on the fields now clear thanks to the warmer temps and rain


The visitor center at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge as seen through a raindrop.


The marshland awaiting the migrating flocks.


A raptor, probably an eagle, eyeing the land for his lunch as I eat mine.


The first of the red-wing blackbirds I've spied this year.


A herd of deer gleaning from the farmer's field.

The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

Mar 15th- A few of my favorite things
~Discovering thousands of red-wing blackbirds have returned from their winter migration
~The amazing wingspan of a turkey vulture gliding on the wind
~Watching the ringed-bill gull and the turkey vulture soaring together when Inigo's words come to mind "I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using?" "Inconceivable!" wink emoticon Princess Bride is always quotable grin emoticon
