Summer doldrums

It has been a tough Summer for a couple of reasons that I don't want to discuss here. But a note of encouragement arrived with a call from John McIltrot, who said that Andy is doing very well - he is becoming a reliable bird finder and a solid bird handler. Photo by John shows Andy (facing the camera) and pointing a bird.

'Little John' Is running all over the prairie and rippin' birds in the best approved puppy style.

I am headed to Montana at the end of the week and will have some fun at John's camp, then head over to Paul Garrett's camp. 

Bird season is comin' and I am starting to feel renewed sense of purpose.
