My New Best Friend: Merlin Sound ID

Jean Suplick, 2018 and 2020-2021 New Class Director –
Have you ever stepped outside on a fine morning, closed your eyes for a few moments, and taken in the soundscape? No doubt you will hear some human-generated sounds like tires on pavement, jets droning by overhead or maybe playing children. But wait. Hold on. Was that a bird you just heard?

Honoring Frances Williams, Founder of Connemara

Bob Mione, 2012 – There have been lots and lots of great photos taken of the wildflowers at the Meadow.  I’ve never seen a better one than this, taken by Connie Roschlau Ball.  I call this plot the “Maureen” plot, named after a friend of mine’s wife, who really loved the wildflowers of TX.

Erwin Park – Hawk’s Nest

Shari Navarette, 2018 and Chapter Photographer – In the early spring of 2021, while Covid kept most of us home, I spent a lot of time with my camera at the Heard Museum, at Hagerman NWR, and at Erwin Park.   One morning at Erwin, while the trees were still bare, I spotted a pair of hawks at a nest.  One was sitting on the nest, the other kept it’s mate company just off to the side.   I watched for a while.
