2020 covid shut down those plans a year and a half later we followed through for the trip we rented an rv in part to avoid people in public restrooms the rv was also to make luke more comfortable with ac and floorspace we had attributed his slowing down and restless nights to age even the vet thought luke might be ok to travel with us to texas until an xray revealed widespread cancer in his lungs our sweet boy was so strong he endured without complaint but his condition was dire and a crisis imminent what was to be a last hurrah became a distraction from grief full side slideout our 1000 mile drive to the gulf coast took us to two of our favorite state parks south llano and choke canyon south llano is perfect numerous shaded trails radiate from the small but spacious campground no driving necessary get the brisket from lum s bbq in junction before you stop the landscape is stunning especially under the canopy of giant pecan trees birds oh yeah including ringed kingfishers much bigger than the more familiar belted kingfishers black vultures hanging and soaring with turkey vultures raucous yellow and brown great kiskadees turkeys crested caracara a big tropical falcon cardinals wrens orioles and tanagers this trip we didn t see yellow billed cuckoos here black capped vireo or the even rarer golden cheeked warblers plus armadillos bumbling through the vegetation farther south choke canyon is more open and drier than llano here we did see one cuckoo directly over our camping chairs the first black white warbler of the trip soon there would be many more and roseate spoonbills we also saw paraque and fulvous whistling ducks they do whistle names that sound made up by edward leer texas in september is so gawd awful humid we could only stand to be out before 10am or briefly afterward thank god for ac and internet unavailable in llano and choke at the far end of the road we stopped on south padre island we parked the rv and stayed in a bungalow a short walk from the beach which we walked to twice a day near dawn and dusk autumn loves sand but not water bungalow on padre our first few days on the island coincided with la tormenta tropical nicholas friends in florida thought we were mad not to flee in advance but old nick turned his wrath up the coast we got a good soaking a blessing to desert dwellers a few miles from our house were two extraordinary birding destinations so close their boardwalks nearly connect at first our favorite was the world birding center with its garden that was a warbler grove during our visit we visited twice a day for several days one evening warblers were so abundant they flew into each other and into mer s hat black white and blackburnian dominated but there were others on the boardwalk what i took to be a tiny heron stared back at me as if each of us couldn t believe what we were seeing when i motioned to mer to look the bird melted into the tall grass this was a least bittern a lifer for us seldom seen especially at eye level from 6 feet away so close i couldn t get it all in the frame of a picture thank you shy bird over time we shifted attention to the convention center for its little shaded oasis and landscaped grounds more warblers more lifers best of all a chuck will s widow seriously a nightjar really the brief initial sighting would have been enough but it circled and flew right past me looking for a daytime resting place a big headed brown hawk only that could outshine 9 magnificent frigatebirds circling overhead one does not live by birdings alone we got a great pizza for carryout another time ceviche shrimp we brought so much food with us we didn t visit a single grocery store just one liquor store texas has yuengling beer nm does not and a quik e mart for ice cream and more beer the people we encountered were all pleasant we saw more masks than we expected and no guns the only trump signs or flags were on a few rural estates god guns country trump certainly not country we only almost ran out of gas twice gps failed us repeatedly please forgive our huge carbon footprint two weeks later we returned home with thousands of photos dozens of keepers most of the chaos has been contained life goes on it s good to be home sky december 13 2020 mjh if you haven t seen jupiter and saturn you re missing something astronomy essentials earthsky a deep dive into what s happening right now look up more than one night â snip the 2020 great conjunction of jupiter and saturn will be the closest since 1623 and the closest observable since 1226 on december 21 jupiter and saturn will be only 0 1 degree apart then the two largest worlds in the solar system will appear in earth s sky separated by only about 1 5 the apparent diameter of a full moon some say the pair will look like an â œelongated starâ on that date will they or will they look like a double planet to know for sure weâ ll have to look and see theyâ ll surely be an appealing and mind expanding sight

september 15 22 â naval oceanography portal the astronomical season of autumn begins on the 22nd at 9 31 am edt â this is the moment when the sunâ s disc reaches an ecliptic longitude of 180 degrees and crosses from the northern hemisphere of the sky into the southern hemisphere â while the term â œequinoxâ means â œequal nightâ a glance at a sunrise sunset table reveals that the difference between sunrise and sunset on this date isnâ t exactly 12 hours as one might expect â since the sun subtends a tangible disc and we measure sunrise and sunset by the first and last appearances of the solar limbs the duration of daylight is 12 hours and 8 minutes on the 22nd here in washington â the actual date when day and night are equal falls on the 26th â from then until march 16th next year our nights will be longer than our days hello darkness my old friend anasazi outliers the organic contours of walls in hovenweep utah july 21 2020 mjh one way hovenweep differs from chaco is scale chaco is massive it s a city hovenweep s smaller buildings are scattered around the area more like a farming village or scattering of families another difference is most though not all of chaco s structures start on flat land look at how this wall in hovenweep emerges out of the underlying rock â this particular wall fascinates for another reason why is it there it doesn t appear to enclose a usable space nor form the foundation of such it appears more decorative than functional of course looking larger isn t merely decorative it can be defensive or imposing the masons of hovenweep had a flare for the dramatic and skill to produce unique buildings â sky latest sunset 6 27 20 june 24 2020 mjh the sky this week 2020 june 23 30 â naval oceanography portal the yearâ s latest sunset occurs on the 27th for folks living in northern temperate latitudes â here in washington old sol slips below the horizon at 8 38 pm edt that evening â most of us probably wonâ t notice the sunâ s gradual return to earlier set times for a couple of weeks he wonâ t set before 8 30 pm until july 20th â on the other end of the day though sunrise is now four minutes later than it was on june 13th so the days are indeed beginning to gradually get shorter sky summer solstice winter is coming june 20 2020 mjh the sky this week 2020 june 16 23 â naval oceanography portal astronomical summer officially arrives on the 20th at 5 44 pm edt â this is the moment when old sol reaches an ecliptic longitude of 90 degrees and it also happens to be the time when he reaches his highest northern declination with the center of his disc perched over the tropic of cancer â this is the longest day for residents of the northern hemisphere but the length of day varies widely with latitude â here in washington we will have 14 hours 54 minutes between sunrise and sunset â residents of hawaiâ i will only see 13 hours 20 minutes of daylight while residents of fairbanks will have 21 hours and 50 minutes to
