Of course, the Roundtop boys are often working during the day,so that might explain it.

It almost got mowed over, but our land steward on the tractor noticed it just in time.<br /><br />I was conducting my annual Breeding Bird Census early in the morning yesterday in our tract of forest.

I guess they must be really thirsty. Actually, as I think of it, I am usually swimming when they arrive (so I look like a log in the water?), and if I'm swimming, it must be hot out. Hence their need for water.Pablohttp://www.roundrockjournal.comnoreply@blogger.com
