Driving through the far NW corner of Iowa into Nebraska (100+ degree temps), we stopped to take a midday break. The library in S. Sioux City, NE looked shady and cool.
Just inside the front doors we found a large aviary filled with dozens of the prettiest little birds.
A man who said he worked for an aviary maintenance company was emptying out all the nests and replacing them with fresh straw.
Next he used a small netted bird catcher to capture each little bird . . .
He checked them over, leg banded the new chicks and used a toenail clipper to trim their tiny claw.
We then drove scenic hiway 75 south (following the Missouri River) through the Winnebago, NE Indian Reservation --
-- and further south we drove along a hillside ridge above some of the most beautiful farmland I've seen on this trip!

Hey there!
Was without internet server for four days and trying to catch up on emails, but haven't seen anything from you and fems are starting to ask..."Where the hell is Nola?!" :-)
Love your bloging and photos. What beautiful country you are seeing and your photos are fantastic as usual. You know I like the odd ones that no one else would think of photographing. :-)
Take care...
