Death of the Coolpix 990 - 21 Jan 2006
0900 Hrs. Robin has a computer class, and Esther has gone for a hairdresser’s appt. I took a walk to the pond just shortly, and saw no new birds.
The Red-tailed Hawk is still about, as are the Anhingas. A few Boat-tailed Grackles, and a Fish Crow are making noise, but I have to take Hal out to Joker Marchant Stadium for Fantasy Camp.

Out at the stadium there are a few Boat-tailed Grackles, and only 1 Osprey flying about. But I do see several Brown Pelicans and a White Pelican fly overhead.

After the game, we saw 6 Sandhill Cranes off Old-98 near the Cancer Center, and I went back w/ Robin but they were gone.

I tried the Coolpix 990 out at the pond for one last time, and took numerous picks of a White-winged Dove and Northern Mockingbird before it died a most horrible death. The motor grinds, and the unit will not focus… Sadness!
Robin and I ran over to Best Buy to get a new SD card for the Canon since the last card was filled w/ videos and images:
