I was still suffering from an ancient person’s malady, namely geezer’s mystery limp or spazzo oldo, when we got up this morning. Fortunately, Peggy gave me a little encouragement and we decided to go on a short excursion on some of the roads around our current camping spot here at Natchez Trace TT.
Our morning was spent checking out the birds, who we have baited to our feeder right outside the trailer. In addition to rose-breasted grosbeaks who are pretty new additions to our list, we got to add American goldfinches and summer tanagers today. The goldfinches are a striking assortment of yellow and black and the summer tanagers look like cardinals; just as red but not nearly as rotund and with much pointier beaks.
Once we got going, we ended up driving up some nearby creeks or small rivers. This part of Tennessee is quite beautiful, especially the locations where water has made massive cuts through the sedimentary rock formations. The plants seem very happy. There seem to be more animals here than we saw in western TN.
