Bird of the Week: Hermit Thrush

 Lake Houston Park is a favorite spot of mine. This gem is almost 5000 acres of wilderness park that has miles of hike and bike trails. This Hermit Thrush photo was down at the cypress lake

Owl House Install

Its good to have friends when you  need to get a job done!
Friends with tools...and tractors!










And Friends with very long ladders!!













Here we are installing the first of two owl houses. I think this one is in a good spot...an owl flew up and landed right in a tree 30 yards from us to watch us work!!!





































Here we are starting at spot number two.










Up the ladder once more
































Looks like a great new home!












































My friends looking  at their handiwork!



























Ready for visitors!
