There are many varieties of birds around the guest house. Saw this Caracara during a morning walk. The close-up photo is courtesy of Wikipedia. An interesting fact: Caracaras would rather walk than fly. (Guess the one I saw doesn’t read Wikipedia!).

Come for a visit and see how many birds you can identify.

Things to keep the kids occupied while taking a walk in the country:
1. Say hi to the neighbors
2. See how many different wildflowers you can find
3. Watch butterflies
4. Pretend to be an archeologist and look for bones and arrowheads
5. Try to catch a lizard

Our back roads can be so beautiful when there is less trash hiding the wildflowers. This is what we picked up on a recent walk around Big Sky Guest House. When you visit Fredericksburg, please respect the land and keep your trash in your car.
