Laguna Atascos

We use to volunteer out here at the refuge and one of our favorite times was early morning so we jumped in the sports car and drove out to the refuge for a drive about.  We were greeted by this morning lark singing its song of joy

 

 


The cormorants were lined up ready for a day of fishing.

 

 


Gulls were checking the tide waters for little critters; like that bright orange beak!

 

 


Osprey were in their usual spot.

 

 


The caracara, Mexican Eagle, were perched on the yucca tree playing look out.

 

 


Cactus are ready to burst into bloom

 

 


The great blue heron is out along the shore line looking for little fishes that have lost their way

 

 


This is where we scared up a coyote and he leaped through the brush.

 

 


The MR2 looks good!

 

 


This hawk jumped out of the brush and flew right in front of us!

 

 


the little bunnies were in the road all along the way.  See the speed bumps; that is so traffic goes real slow just in case on ocelot decides to cross the road.  There are less than 100 left in the United States; there are lots in South America, but our population is not doing so well.

 

 


This brave little turtle decided to cross the road

 

 


Why did the turtle decide to cross the road?

 

 


We don't know but when he decided to go he certainly wasn't slow about it!

 

 


Curlew have a very long beak!  It was a good morning drive even if it decided to rain this morning and cool off!

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Clifford Karl Lambert

Cliff married my little sister, Maria and became part of our family. We traveled to Italy together one summer Cliff had the coolest Man Cave! He really enjoyed technology and used it at work, home and helped everyone enjoy theirs too. He bought a boat that he and my sister enjoyed for many years. He walked his daughter down the isle. And welcomed Travis into his family. Not long after Layla was born and he became a very proud Pap Pap. He and my sister retired to Florida. Where Cliff learned to golf. One of my best memories are of our Cookie Days together. Cliff worked at Lowes and enjoyed his job in the paint department. He got sick; he found out he had stage 4-bladder cancer. We went on our traditional breakfast together each time we got together over the years. He finished the first round of chemo treatments. But the cancer went into his bones. He kept smiling and living life to the fullest. He enjoyed ...
