Birding Lake Tawakoni
Lake Tawakoni fall foliage
One of the challenges I deal with when blogging is how to share more personal things. I’m obviously blogging to a general audience bigger than just family or friends, but I know that a lot of my readers are family and friends (especially since I haven’t been blogging long). I will occasionally blog about things that may be of interest to the narrower audience of those who know me. This also gives me a case to showcase my pictures, a hobby I enjoy.
I went birding the day after Christmas with my wife and mom to Lake Tawakoni east of Dallas. The weather was incredible. In the 60s and 70s. The trees looked like New England in the fall. (Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but for Texas they were quite colorful). In short, this was definitely not the kind of weather one expects in late December.
The highlight of the day was Rusty Blackbird. I’ve never seen one before, and there are very few birds in Texas that I haven’t seen.
I’ve put up a few pictures for those interested.
Had a really nice time birding with you guys. Amy’s going to be a great birder under your tutelage and I know you’ll have many great birding experiences together. Thanks for letting me tag along, Mom
Jay, this might not be the place to post this, but check this out:

joest, I appreciate the link. As a suggestion, I would prefer links to interesting articles sent to me, so that I can post them if I want, rather than leaving them in a comment on a post that’s unrelated to the article.
You can use the “Contact Me” link in the navigation to send a message directly to me.
Thanks.
Okay, okay, okay.
I’m not the most tech-savvy guy ever.
I’m flattered you used the story anyway.
