This morning's ride had a new sighting- blue heron. Though not rare for Texas, I can't recall seeing any lately. I rolled down a hill over the river and there they were. Luckily I was curious to see how high the river is or I would have missed them. There was four of them, one wading, two flying and one swimming (or maybe wading in deeper water). What beautiful and majestic creatures.

I unfortunately saw four dead armadillos as well and all were pretty fresh (ick). Poor little guys, doesn't seem to have been a good night for them.
