Birding in Texas

Arlene, nope, the vacation I mentioned was not a sun-drenched beach, but thanks for asking. I took a week off to do some birding and get some general R & R at Dan and Cathy Brown’s ranch in Christoval, Texas, south of San Angelo. They’re two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and their ranch makes for a quiet, peaceful vacation retreat. I didn’t even miss the sand and surf.
