07_02 to 06 2010 - Houston, Texas, Part I

Dave and I flew to Houston for a family reunion. The remnants of the hurricane were making a mess of Houston so it was a long trip with a lot of circling, diverting to Dallas, hitting turbulence that make grown ups cry etc.

We were happy to get on the ground finally. While we sat an hour in the car going 7 miles due to street flooding, I think we both preferred it to the turbulence!

We spent time with family which includes a lot of birds. Many - if not most of them are pets! You can see here some of the pet peafowl, Dayle and Dewey (more of the Lilac Crowned Amazon family), pet ducks, geese and other assorted critters.

There were not that many wild birds around. We didn't see a single Scissor-tailed flycatcher and they are usually everywhere. No kestrels either. Bummer. Still, the birds we saw, pet and hung out with were a treat.
