After a few days at Fontainbleau State Park and a nice reunion in New Orleans with Vermont friends, we headed northward and endured a long trip on busy but dry roads back home. The van ran well and aside from a last day long trek, we kept the legs reasonable with motel stays along the way. Since then, it’s been a lot of catch-up work and a series of Nor’easter snowstorms, including 12-14 inches last night. The Sprinter isn’t going anywhere soon.
The Florida van had -30 temperatures before we left and several feet of snow since we returned.
I am including a couple of bird photos — two from Louisiana and one from Vermont.
This Loggerhead Shrike (or its cousin) was on the same power line last year.
It will be a while before we see Eastern Bluebirds here.
However, some American Robins are hanging in there in wintry Central Vermont.
Now we are packing for a two-week birding trip to Ecuador with a group from the North Branch Nature Center. I expect to be offline until early April but will share a few shots from this exciting adventure.
