White-crowned sparrows are one of our winter birds; they are only around from about October-April here. I greatly miss their songs when they leave for the summer, probably much in the way easterners miss hummingbirds after they migrate away.

Yesterday we went to a state park near where we are staying in Florida and did a short hike. Shortly before you pass through a wildlife control gate there is this sign The hike continues after that point on a really nice boardwalk along a swampy area: But before long the boardwalk ends and you are walking along paths with these guys right along the edge: Shortly after that the trail seemed to split, one way had a sign saying closed due to flooding, the other looked like this:

It was a very jagged cut Bob ;) It actually looks much better than it did look. I was really concerned he was going to have to have internal (it looked past the fascia) stitches too, so ugly or not, I'm glad it was just the funky jagged cut on top that was stitched!

I was going to share a picture of Boyz 2 men, they played last night at our party, but unfortunately the pictures are terrible. It was entertaining.
