So here's that view again - only there's on thing different. See that little teeny light pink thing in the water, in front of and to the right of the post?
That cute little thing is this! A roseate spoonbill! I was so surprised to find one right there, at our RV park!!! It was such a treat to see (I'd never seen one before but had heard the name)! And it was so funny too! One of the things that caught my eye were the crazy, rapid back and forth movements it was making with its long bill in the water. All I could think was, that's no "normal" bird! I would get to see more of them, but not till Florida.
After a few trips in a smaller, used motorhome, we decided we liked all that adventuring so much, we came home and traded in our RV for a bigger one, moved out of our house and rented it, moving into our little yurt in the back country of a certain southern CA county - all in one month! We started out afresh then as full-time RVers - my husband, two cats, two dogs, and I. And indeed, our first year with our new Winnebago Tour, we were out from Jan. to Nov. However, due to health issues and trying to avoid the cold wintery weather found in so much of our country, subsequent years have seen us only out for about 6 months, scurrying back to sunny, mild southern Calif. come fall.
I am amazed at all we've seen and the wonderful people we've met. Come share it with us...
