I have to watch the cost of gas lately, so it&#8217;s nice to have several excellent sites nearby.<br \/>\nAlthough hot and humid was promised, I set out early in hopes of good light and was rewarded. Many birds were active early on, with Hummingbirds being prominent. I spent too much time chasing them, as usual.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=9597\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9597\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
