Howdee all,
Jeff and I are now in Perry, Georgia at a an FMCA rally...that stands for Family Motor coach rally.
I don't know how many motor homes are here at this rally....but the last one we attended there were over 5,000. All different shapes and sizes.
Motor home City.
We've come here to attend workshops and classes related to motor homey things...Jeff is taking classes on the electrical system, battery's and one about the engine. We will also go to seminars on traveling to Alaska, and the Canada maritimes. I found a few interesting computer classes and also one on taking better photos. There will be entertainment and dancing. Commercial vendors selling things related to RV and RV travel.
This is a place to meet old friends and to make new friends. Today we met new friends. They are from England and came to the US a year ago to pick up their new motor home....it is near the end of their journey here and they will ship the new motor home back to England where they will use it for Vacations.
check out their adventures.
So here we are for a week.
Doing motor homey things.
We did find a few birdies around. Saw a flock of cedar waxwings here at the fairgrounds two days in a row on the same tree. Today, on a small pond in the fairgrounds we saw one coot, two Blue winged teal, two bufflehead, two Redhead ducks and two Canada geese.
Did a trip to a Sod farm nearby looking for migrating shorebirds...didn't see any, but did see a small flock of purple martins, American Pipits, Horned larks, Meadow larks and a few others...So it was still a decent birdie day without the shorebirds.
I want to thank Lydia of Coastal Georgia Birding blog for posting this great link to Wings over Georgia... great places to bird in Georgia
on her blog for me..
Check out her blog!
I leave you with these beautiful spiderwebs.
We found these one morning on a walk in the St. Marks Wildlife Refugee.
It was a damp night and in the morning the webs were full of dew. It was amazing to see all the spiderwebs...ones that you ordinarily wouldn't see..the dew made them all visible....ones that I probably have walked on without knowing....
Sorry spiders. I will try and be more careful next time.
look at all those webs...

look at all those webs...
This was a very interesting web. Built on the ground in the grass. See the hole?
these were on the ground also..but were like puffs ..roundish..no hole that I could see.
they were all very interesting webs
and this one, below, if you look closely is using a piece of arched grass....
another photo of the same web..ok not the best clarity..but...I like the way it glows.
Well thats all for now...signing off...from the fairgrounds in Perry, Ga.
Goodnight.
