We left the traffic and noise behind and are chilling out at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in eastern Texas.  The fishing has only been fair so far but the weather has been nearly perfect…sunny and highs just into the 80s and a forecast that calls for highs in the 70s.  I guess that is Fall in this part of the country.  I’ll take it.

This lake is a hangout for wintering eagles so we have been hearing them most mornings and evenings and watching them fish.  Migrating waterfowl are starting to show up too.  The perfect formations and coordinated wing beats of white pelicans are mesmerizing.
