		<description><![CDATA[
I recently visited family in Missouri, and was able to fit in a little time outdoors. This is a Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus). I can tell that she is a female because she lacks a black mustache, a trait that is more definitive in flickers than in people.   
This American Robin (Turdus migratorius) [...]]]></description>

This view of the Missouri River is from a new park in Riverside, specially designed to [...]]]></description>

This young Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) might as well have winked at me as he flew right by! This is my last post about my trip to Port Aransas, TX, and it should come as no surprise that I saved the pelicans for last.   Something about pelicans &#8211; no matter the species &#8211; makes me [...]]]></description>

I invite you to take a look at my glorious day in Port Aransas, TX &#8211; rain and all! The area has been dry for so long that the residents have been on water restrictions. This rain was welcomed by wildlife and the locals&#8230;so I decided to have fun with it myself. I have lots [...]]]></description>

I spent my first day in Corpus Christi running errands, but was able to spend my first  evening in Port Aransas! I had a wonderful evening near a &#8220;jetty,&#8221; and took my first ferry-ride to get there.  The fishing pole in this photo is not mine, but it represents one of my first views [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Birding trips in the middle of the summer are pretty sparse where I live in Texas. Still, about 30 people turned out last Sunday for a tour through the Connemara Conservancy, located in Allen, TX. This special place was founded in 1981, providing area residents with 72 acres of protected habitat to visit and enjoy. [...]]]></description>

The goodies from my trip to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas just keep on coming.   This Hooded Warbler (Wilsonia citrina) was a first for me. He visited on two different days, and really hammed it up for the camera. This warbler is every bit as striking &#8220;in-the-feather&#8221; as he is in the photograph. [...]]]></description>

The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas are simply beautiful. I spent four days in a cabin on a mountain, enjoying the outdoors and some new scenery. I saw new birds, butterflies, turtles and even a new species of squirrel. A dramatic thunderstorm and delightfully cool weather moved through one morning as well. I have pictures of [...]]]></description>

I spent a day helping some of my Texas Master Naturalist friends improve the hiking trails at Caddo Park on Lake Lavon. The park had been closed to the public for a long time, but is now open again. I took my &#8220;little&#8221; camera along to photograph the wildflowers and anything else I might see. [...]]]></description>

Tours of the meadow are by appointment only, and I was one of about 30 people visiting that day. Several families with small children were present, and the children reminded us all that it can be fun to play [...]]]></description>
