We boondocked on Proctor road for 4 days. Had a blast.
We set up Orville (our popup camper's name) on the edge of a dry ravine. It wasn't long before a small herd of cattle came to claim the area. One cow ate a nearby soda can and a calf knocked over the fire pit shovel. No real harm done, it was funny though. They were literately in our site.

The birds were not really in full migration, yet I still managed to see over 30 species. Not too shabby a count, although many of my photos were. I'm still trying to decide if the whole gear is too heavy or if I'm just too ram jammy when I photo birds. Time will tell. At least I have fun!
