Camino training is starting

 Hello, everyone. We are resuming our walks in hope of walking the Camino once again. We were not able to walk the Via de la Plata in 2020, as had been planned. Perhaps it will happen this time.

We have found a new series of YouTube videos, by an Australian fellow with the screen name GreenEnergyGavindelaplata. It's interesting. He, like us, is interested in how the local folks live. He learned a lot about cork culture (this is a crop, the bark of the cork oak tree) and shared it in his first video.

Today, though, we were just practice walking. We went to Bentsen State Park and saw the Green Jays, the doves, the Chachalcas, the orioles, and even the local flock of wild turkeys.

Orioles and Chachalacas considering the feeder. (The Chachalacas did eat some peanut butter mix.) The orioles didn't seem to know what to make of the feeder. Theywould fly over to look at it and not eat. Perhaps they thought the yellow-orange peanut butter mix was cut up fruit.
