Thanks, Roger. The awamp parallels the highway, and farther down this peaceful road are the refineries. I saw a for sale sign posted on part of this land, and I hope whoever buys it will not destroy the marshy area. There is quite a contrast between the swamp and the industry. I prefer the swamp any ole day!!:-)

Thanks, Judy and Steve! Yes, Steve, I was lucky. Another bird flew away, but this one stayed. Nice birdie! :-)
