  1. No picture of the bird, but here's a bunch of white dudes looking for it while my 1 year-old slams veggie straws to delay the inevitable meltdown. Great birder watching today.20230915_083324.thumb.jpg.6008614f7494b813a9bf14ea12140470.jpg

  2. Just successfully chased Travis County's 1st record of hermit warbler at Mills Pond. When a successful outing is seeing your target bird for maybe 2 seconds, you start to wonder what the hell you're doing with your free time. Nonetheless, a life bird for me and #395 for Texas! At this snail's pace, I should hit 400 by the end of the decade.

  3. One of the weirder Texas records, behind the Steller's sea eagle that was seen once here, and I think might still be cruising along the Northeastern seaboard.

  4. I went to a bar in Austin to watch the game with some friends. Some aggies started talking shit when we celebrated downing a punt inside the 5. I talked shit back, as they were losing to Miami. Perhaps I was too kind to them afterward, but they paid our tab. 

    I was at aggy for scoreboard in 2012 and I intend to return the favor... when we get to crush their hopes and dreams as conference foes once more. 

    Thanks, y'all! That was actually pretty cool.

  5. I got married April 2018 just outside of Austin. It was 40 degrees.

    The.

    Entire.

    Day.

    The wedding and reception were outdoors. Really wasn't expecting to add stand-up heaters at the last minute. Naturally, the days before and after were beautiful. At least I got to wear a jacket!
