This past Sunday, #VacationSundays no. 19, I was hanging out with friends again. Highlights were watching Great British Bake Off in person with my cooking show friend (we've had to do virtual watch parties since I moved last year), and finding a barred owl out in the early afternoon while on a walk!

For #VacationSundays no. 18 (Oct. 26) I made a dutch baby for breakfast, went birding in hopes of some later migrants, and went for an evening run!

#VacationSundays no. 17 (Oct. 19) was spend relaxing and recovering from lots of driving on Friday (down to Miami and back for a really popular orchid festival). I enjoy romance novels from time to time as lighter reading and couldn't resist one about birding (mixed feelings overall tho).

On #VacationSundays no. 16 (Oct. 12), I ran into a birding acquaintance and we ended up spending the better part of the morning together at 2 different natural areas in search of migrants. Overall we were pretty successful, though we missed a Nashville Warbler he had been seeing earlier in the week.

Accidentally got over a month behind! 😬

Picking up where I left off, #VacationSundays no. 15 was the first weekend of October which I spent surrounded by friends celebrating my birthday (earlier in the week). It was a wonderful start to 32!

Ha! Then I'll continue with my plan to study and absorb bird info on the couch instead of watching tv, and then bring the knowledge in the field but not the book!

Well uhh that's something I guess 😬

(Depending on how far you're willing to travel, check out Sweet Bay Nursery. They're in Parrish, which is def worth the trip from Highlands Co but maybe not if you're further east and/or north. Lovely staff and good selection of natives.)

So weird! It *is* my birthday and I keep getting confetti over my profile pic but thankfully it hasn't asked if I want to tell any collaborators yet.

1993: I was born and while I wouldn't say I'm following in Darwin's footsteps (which is for the best, they're a bit 😬 at times) I also enjoy staring at nature and making observations.

Happy birthday, birthday buddy!
