More Spoonbills

I wrote last week about a drive I took towards "the delta". From The Brake area I drove over to the Mississippi River levee where I had seen other reports on eBird. I saw some first right past the Lake Chicot Pumping Plant but the birds weren't really closer than my first sighting (actually further) … Continue reading More Spoonbills

Upcoming Series: Game Cameras

Today's post will be a quick update on something I'll be posting more about in November, Game Cameras. I've got four out right now. These cameras are not on a bait pile as is done a lot times but on trails so I'll give them about a month before going to check on them. I'd … Continue reading Upcoming Series: Game Cameras

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – On The River (Part 9)

Fall Tomatoes In Grow Box

I'm going to try some late tomatoes in my grow boxes. I was not going to plant these like this but changed my plans last minute. I've been showing these tomato starts since planting them. They have been looking great but in the past week have developed some kind of disease and nearly the entire … Continue reading Fall Tomatoes In Grow Box

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Walking (Part 7)

I am still trying to get a picture of a Roseate Spoonbill but as I’ve said it's hot! I thought it cooled off enough the other day to do some walking at Cane Creek State Park.

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Let’s Ride The Levee (Part 5)

I'm still trying to get a picture of the Roseate Spoonbill. Let' review a bit this journey.

It's been very hot … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Let’s Ride The Levee (Part 5)
