Another day of hard work behind the lens! Also praise to the editor 🥰.

We’ve been looking for Caracara and finally found some! They are vultures yes, but beautiful vultures. They will eat carrion but today it was just a plant.

We see eagles every day and it never gets old. We think you’ll like these two.

Vic was lucky enough to get this Kingfisher.

Lastly, here is the Great Horned Owl shot of the day.

I don’t know how we will ever leave this place. There is so much to see.

Stay safe! XO

Every morning and afternoon we go out looking for birds. The weather people keep saying there’s clouds and rain coming but haven’t seen it yet.

This is a sequence of an Anhinga feasting on a catfish. He tossed it up in the air and let it drop, then grabbed it. It needs to be well lubricated to be swallowed.

These Great Blue Heron are sitting in a tree on the property of a man we met (Dana) down at Lake Marion, a campground/fishing marina near us.

Next is a morphing little blue heron

And here it is fully morphed

We’ve been going to Joe Overstreet every day to see what the Great Horned Owl is doing. These pictures are from yesterday.

Today we met Tom Pulice, a very likable man we first met a couple of years ago at this same spot. He’s got the bird nerd bug same as us so he is very fun to talk to.

We see eagles every time we drive up and back on Joe Overstreet.

Vic is having to work overtime editing the many many pictures we’ve been taking. There are more to come!

Stay Safe XO

This afternoon we went to Joe Overstreet looking for eagles and other birds and we wanted to check a headless palm tree where an owl had nested two years ago. A friend of Vic’s happened to come along. He showed us where an owl was nesting near that headless palm tree. If the owl was looking for a secure, dark, and hard to see nest boy she found it for sure. Spanish moss is hanging everywhere and it was dark back in there.

It was another foggy morning but most of it cleared by the time we got to Joe Overstreet.

Then we went back out this afternoon. These shots are culled from the many we took today.

Those were all mine. Now comes Vic’s.

We sure are having fun! Hope you enjoyed the show.

Stay safe XO

The morning was foggy, dense fog. Midday it cleared off but then it was hot. About 4 pm we went out looking for owls. They were sitting in trees dripping with Spanish moss and in poor lighting, making it hard to get a good shot. Thanks to Vic’s editing skills I have these to show you.

Next we wanted to check another place we often see fun stuff – Joe Overstreet – it’s a long road lined with ranches and sod farms with the Overstreet family spread at the end with a lake.

We saw two eagles sitting together! We haven’t seen a pair of eagles together like that in several years.

We bothered them and after a while they flew across a field.

Stay Safe! XO

Yesterday we left Sierra Vista AZ, planning to stop overnight at a rest area Vic found on line. The place had several 5 star ratings from previous visitors. We arrived to find most of the RV and truck parking spots filled by compact cars. Grrr!! Mind you there were plenty of car spaces. A security guard was walking around doing absolutely nothing. We decided to keep going and ended up driving 430 miles that day. It might be a new record. We ended up at a totally forgettable RV park for the night. Didn’t unhook, just left early in the morning.

Today’s stop is called Pecan Valley RV Park. We love it and may stay a few days. Spaces are all pull throughs, ginormous sites, quiet, only about 6 campers. It feels like we are in a park – a very nice and well taken care of park. The owner has chickens and fresh eggs are available.

Hope you enjoyed this visit to the farm 😊.
