I'm going to an auction today, so guess I'd better make my contribution early. This is a Black-necked Stilt. I'll post a couple of shots.

I bought a 10-foot tall Nelly Stevens Holly yesterday. Beautiful, already loaded with berries. They should deliver today. I hope I'm back as I'm afraid they might dig up my sprinkler line, even though I've flagged it. Should bring some fruit-eating birds into the yard. My wife remarked, "I'm surprised you would spend that much money on a bush." My response, "I think I'm to the point in life that I may have more dollars than days." :) And I'm not a wealthy man. Just comfortable.

Next project: a trellis for shade on the west side of the patio. I plan to make it from vinyl fencing so it will last. Saw some red Honeysuckle this week. Looked it up on the net and it also has red berries in the fall. I was at two nurseries yesterday and neither had heard of it, so may have to buy online or when I am in Dallas.

I'm rambling, I'll just post the pic and shut up.

Later. ...RDR
