Impromptu Trip

It's not that I do not love my job. I do. I get paid to write, to research, to learn, and more. But, some days while driving to work I get the urge to just see some country.

This was one of those days.

~130 miles. My first goal was to see some country off the Llano for a little while. After that, each turn was random.

Unfortunately, the North Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos turned me back at one point:

I was hoping for some horned lizards, but no such luck.

3 American kestrels (only two with photos though)
3 Swainson's hawks
dung beetles
2 loggerhead shrikes (only able to photograph one)
1 group of blue grosbeaks that wouldn't cooperate for good photos
cowbirds
1 DOR C. atrox
1 DOR bullsnake

It probably seems silly to go through the effort to add a map, but I'm trying to keep a better record of effort and how far afield I'm going, so it works for me.
