A beautiful morning (4 more stinkin' hours) was spent wandering aimlessly in search of the Black-faced Grassquit at Long Pine Key Campground. I was joined by several familiar and some new lost souls. I wonder why they seem to be avoiding me? You may have already guessed, no enchilada. I have tried the following methods with absolutely no results:
1. Walking forward at a slow rate of speed
2. Walking forward at a fast rate of speed
3. Walking backwards at a slow rate of speed
4. Walking backwards at a fast rate of speed
5. Skipping along while whistling the theme song
from Bridge over the River Kwai
6. Driving at idle speed with my windows down while
playing Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits
7. Driving at idle speed with my windows up
8. Driving 25 MPH with my windows down while playing
Slim Whitman's Greatest Hits.Not even a Grassquit
should be subjected to such torture
9. Driving 25 MPH with my windows up
10.Walking slowly with rosary beads in hand
11.Walking slowly chanting Hare Krishna, Krishna,
Krishna
