With Valeri Ponzo; Day 1 of our 3-day Thanksgiving holiday trip to the eastern Panhandle.
Our itinerary for Day 1 was:
0832-0948 EST: Forest Capital Museum State Park (Taylor County) -- our 71st state park birded together.
1041-1332 CST: Three Rivers State Park (Jackson County) -- our 72nd state park birded together.
1417-1710 CST: Chipola River Water Management Area (Calhoun County)
We spent the night at the Palmer Motel in Miday (only $44 with a $30 discount from booking.com!).
The weather at this site was cloudy and 65 degrees with a light breeze. We left at 0948.
We barely saw the sun on any of the three days; most photographs were taken under gloomy skies, which meant that I often had to boost the light saturation to get a usable image, even if the inage ended up looking washed-out.
