Winding Down at Big Bend
We are coming up on our last week of work at Big Bend. It won't be long before we'll be hitching up and off to our next new adventure. But before we satisfy our hitch-itch there are a few things we are trying to cram in. Between our work schedule and the weather there were places we never got to and plants and animals left unphotographed. Happily, while on duty at the Chisos Basin Visitor Center a Road Runner had moved to higher elevations with the rise in temperatures. I guess his hunting opportunities were looking up in the trees and brush around the lodge. I grabbed the camera and headed for the far end of the parking lot to stalk my prey. Checking the high branches. Checking the low branches. Nothing much up here. Time to look for greener pastures. Scouting the parking lot. And we're off! I think I heard a meep! meep! this time. Word is getting around that we, and a couple of other volunteers are leaving soon...
