Today was the first full day in the Big Bend area. I am traveling with, Nancy Damron a photographer friend.
We began the day taking FM 170, the River Road section of Big Bend Ranch State Park.
It was a chilly morning, the vultures were waiting until it warmed off to soar over the valley.
There were cliff swallows over the river. I was hoping to capture one of them visiting the nests. Perhaps tomorrow I will get lucky.
Big horn sheep showed up above us on our way back to Terlingua.
Going into Big Bend National Park, I added a new bird species to my life list, a Phainopepla.
I added several birds to my year list - Say's Phoebe, White Throated Sparrow, Black Phoebe, etc.
I was really planning on birding around Santa Elena Canyon, but the golden canyon walls beckoned to be photographed. Not a great photo, but it is a glimpse of my world today.

I always loved that 'golden' quality to morning light. Need to get up earlier to see it. Looks like a wonderful for pictures.
