Comments: EPISODE 110: Happy Birthday America

We did not have any bottle rockets or firecrackers. We did not even have any M80’s – those
things really rattle the windows. What we do have are independent and natural spirits that
get us out to exploring. Those explorations help us find some interesting and fun stuff.
Todays finding include all kinds of birds and flowers and and buttterflies and snakes and
turtles and the list continues. I think it is great that we can get out to explore and find
such interesting things.

Interesting things like the 33 bird species that included Pileated Woodpeckers, Barred Owls
and Prothonotary Warblers.

Interesting things like Diamond Backed Watersnales and Texas Map Turtles.

Interesting things like Eastern Tiger Swallowtail and Pearl Cresent

Interesting things like Trumpet Vines and Button bush.

Those helping America celebrate her birthday were Wilda Campbell, Bobby Hughes, CR Smith,
David Gordon, and Stuart Bailey. Thanks people for a fun morning.
