New Picnic Tables
Don built us some new picnic tables and benches, the old ones having rotted. They are lovely and make it possible to sit outside and sketch, before it gets too hot. Becky and I sketched bluebirds and the white-tailed kite that pounced on something and guarded it with wings akimbo until it finally took off with it.
The magpie I drew was banded — perhaps from our West Nile Virus study several years ago? — and the jackrabbit sat in the shade, panting.

I know that I always say the same thing, but really, these are just beautiful! :)
