This is so nice-it's nice to give back and help out. I know it had to be a wonderful break from everything they're going through. Thank you for being able to do this for so many veterans. God Bless

Painted Bunting. I see them around our house every so often. Yellow, blue, green--like a tropical bird. Beautiful!

Texas Parks and Wildlife What bird is this? HINT: This guy is a migratory bird that often overwinters in parts of Texas. He likes to perch in the open and keep a lookout for insect prey. The second part of his name is based on something he likes to catch and eat. Need help? Visit http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/browse.aspx

Only sighting for me was in 1998, Rattlesnake Springs at Guadalupe Nat'l Park. What a beauty, but I didn't have a camera. Striking and unmistakable.

Great place to visit and be surrounded by nature. You might even come face to face with a cougar or a rattler...yikes! But mostly Jack Rabbits and deer. Wonderful hiking trails. Hadn't been in several years, but longing to go back.
