10,000 Birds

I have a confession to make. Last weekend, I went on a birding binge. I spent two full days where the birding was near constant, and, just to keep the binoculars from being neglected, topped it off with another half day of birding on our drive back from Cano Negro, Costa Rica. I confess to giving myself over to nature observation but I make no excuses- a birding binge is always good (except I guess if it makes you lose your job, partner, or life).

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and that means your dog might be fed by over-zealous relatives who try to sneak them food off the table.

At the end of October, my family flew to Florida for a multi-day road trip aimed at the beautiful springs. Bubbling up from underground aquifers, the springs are known for their constant 70-72 degree F temperatures and impressive clarity. We had an ambitious itinerary planned: six springs within eight Florida State Parks. One of the highlights of the trip was a glass-bottomed boat ride in Silver Springs State Park, one of the newer additions to the state park system.
