Cold Wind, Long Drive
I had to make a fast trip to south Texas and thought I would see many many hawks. I thought I would have time to stop along the way. Well, the cold front started blowing in and I found myself struggling to keep the car "on the road and out of the way of other drivers." I ran into traffic jams (two on the way down, one on the way back home). I saw many vultures, starlings (why do you see a murmuration when atop a scary overpass?), and two sandhill cranes (flying over - no chance of a photo).
So, I only stopped for the roadkill - and only on the way home. I actually refused to turn around for 4 skunks. [Three were between Victoria and Cuero on 87 and one was outside of Gonzales. There was also a crow smack-dab on the center line of the westbound lanes of Interstate 10. ] Here are the creatures I did stop/turn around for (yes, I did cry over the Great Blue Heron). The dog was a surprise - near the heron. He looked like he was asleep.
