Birds of a Feather

We are enjoying the different birds we are seeing down here in south Texas.  The bird picture is a gold-fronted woodpecker.  It has an interesting yellow spot above its beak and a pretty red spot on the back of the head.  This one is looking for bugs on a palm tree.  These woodpeckers are only found in the southwest part of the U.S. 

At least once a month a group of ultralite flyers comes to the RV park in town that is closer to the small airport.  There were at least five of them up flying one weekend.   They look like they are having a good time.  They have their meetings and potlucks at the RV park.  These guys haul their flying machines in the back of their 5th wheel RVs.  Its an RV like ours only with a "garage" in the back where they can store their machines.  Most people use these "toyhauler" RVs to haul their 4 wheelers or motorcycles.  This is the first time we saw ultralite flying machines come out the back end of one.
