A local rancher gave me access to one of his places with a spring-fed pond. There were some mesquite trees on the dam big enough for hanging. Not a cloud in the sky so went without a tarp and the weather was perfect, cooled down very nicely to the 60s and calm to slight breeze -- really nice for reading and then falling to sleep.
But such noisy neighbors!
The frogs of all kinds and sizes made a racket and then the coyotes started up. Add crickets and katydids! It was fun to try to hear the Nightjars though the other sounds.
Woke up this morning to find a Great Blue Heron stalking his breakfast:
