It's a Mockingbird Kind of Day
Photos taken in Southeastern Oklahoma
This Mockingbird braved a windy day to sing me a song.

Another Bird Day
We've been having a lot of wind the last few days. Makes for a lot of bad hair days.
Mrs. Bluebird is building a nest in our pipe fence. While Mr. watches.
She was busy finding building material when she saw me watching her from the window. I hope to see some babies one of these days.
This is one of those really, really far away shots. I think it is a hooded merganser. Can anyone see it well enough to see if my ID is correct? If so, it is a first for me.

The Week in Review
Saturday 12/20/17
Friends invited us to go to The Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The weather was supposed to turn cold, but it was 40 degrees when we left home. The museum was about 1 1/2 hours away. Not long into the drive, it started misting rain as the temperature quickly dropped to 20 degrees. The mist started freezing on the windshield.
The roads were still okay, but when we got into OK City, the bridges were starting to ice. We did see one car lose control on one of the bridges. Merely a fender bender, but I don't think the driver was very happy.
Love this statute. It's the first thing you see when you walk in the building. You might recognize a more summer-like version of this as my header. If you are ever in the Oklahoma City area, try to stop in.

Nothing exciting this day. It was too darn cold to get out. I did try a new recipe - Taco Soup. Easy. It's a crock pot recipe. Tasty, too!
Monday 1/1/18
No pictures for two days in a row. It's too cold to get out. This morning our water was frozen, so we spent the morning thawing out the well and hot water pipes under the RV. Low was 9°.
Friends invited us for dinner, so we ventured out. Gotta have those black-eyed peas for a prosperous new year.
Tuesday 1/2/18
Still cold, so stayed in most of the day. Did venture out to take a pic of the Super Moon.
Wednesday 1/3/18
Sunshine and perfect walking temp. It got up to 48° so gave Gus a treat and took him for a walk down to the pond. It turned out to be more of a run. He was happy to be outside for a change.
The pond was still frozen.
Finally tired him out. He found a shady spot to rest.
Thursday 1/4/18
Drove into Ada today. Took the long way home to look for critters. Today was Mockingbird Day, although I did see several Savannah Sparrows and a Red-tailed Hawk having a snack on top of an old electric pole. This guy was trying to hide in a tree beside the road. He didn't appear to like me much.
DC took me out to dinner. On the way we saw several deer standing alongside the road. These two posed for me.
1/5/18 Friday
Took an early drive this morning. The sun cast a bright yellow over the countryside. To my left I saw a tree full of what I thought was Meadowlarks, since there are so many around here. I snapped a pic.
After reviewing the shot, I rethought my identification. I zoomed closer and snapped another pic. They were far off the road, so it isn't very clear, but clear enough to identify the Cedar Waxwings with the sun making their usually soft yellow appear much darker.
A little farther down the road, I saw a flock of geese looking for a drink on a frozen pond.

Birds and Barns
On my way into Ada this morning, I saw this white-crowned sparrow on a gate.
This guy was on at the other end of the same gate. This shot was taken through a dusty windshield, so it isn't very clear. I'm not sure what kind he is, but believe him to be a Harris's Sparrow. Anyone know if this is correct?
I'm fairly proud of this Red-tailed hawk shot. I chase them all the time, but rarely get a good pic.
