Better Luck Next time...

ELL THAT DIDNT WORK!

You're never too old to learn...take nothing for granted....
Drove the nearly 3 hrs to the WMA only to find it closed due to HUNTING  thru to Thursday I won't be driving back for Thursday and Friday there is no hunting...and by the weekend it's another hunt and that's that...so basically they closed it a week early! It's just too far to go there and back in one day and I say it every single time I go...lol

Fortunately the other section called Donnelley was open but there is never the numbers of waterfowl due to Alligators...they are all over Donnelley. So I saw some good birds but not the ones I wanted to see...no shorebirds, hardly any ducks, and no gulls or terns or the White Pelicans that were reported being ..at Bear Island. 

So I was disappointed but it's my own fault for not checking the website they have the Special Hunts dates posted. Lesson learned!!  So annoying...I thought later I should have gone in and signed up to hunt! And shot with my camera...but Im sure it's not free I'd probably have to pay for a tag of some such..And I have no hunting License..lol so I spent the day birding but the long drive was no fun..I returned an hour earlier than I had planned.  

Had a shower , then ate my left over picnic grub for dinner and now Im settled down.  Just finished watching Vancity Vanlife with Chrome and Cruz the bulldog on You Tube while my photos download outta the camera....they are just getting back to Vancouver been in Ontario most of the fall and they had a lot of snow on the drive.  My sister got a foot of snow in CO.  And the Utah trip sister got snow too...It's so good to be in SC where only a Hurricane, Zeta is on the way but it's only supposed to be lots of rain and hopefully no wind since it's coming in the same path they have all taken this year.
