April 4

South Llano River SP near Junction, one of our favorite parks in Texas. My favorite country music, a cacophony of bird song, Cardinal, White-eyed Vireo, Bewick's Wren,  Pine Siskin, Chickadee, Titmouse, Waxwing, Robin, Summer Tanager, Wild Turkey

Heavenly dark sky afforded first stars I've seen in 6 months without murky humid interference.  Using only the small spotting scope resolved Alcor/Mizar, double double in handle of Big Dipper, and Trapezoid in Orion Nebula. Moons of Jupiter, too.

Early morning, 6 minute flyover of ISS with  hooting accompaniment of Great Horned Owl.
