Gathering nesting material from a gas station driveway. This was a bonus I got with $56 for a fill-up.

Thanks everyone. I know some have it worse for gas prices, but when I fill up the motor home, it runs more than $300.:cry::cry:

Well done Stan. Wait until you see my sparrow. ;-)a Not so good. Also not so good are gas prices here. My first fill up here today since returning home cost over $10 a tank more than I had been paying in Largo. I don't envy your motorhome fill ups though.

Not sure about the value, Ray, but nice to get your opinion.

Thanks, Don. I'm sure you are feeling the pain at the pump.

Must be spring for sure with that shot... nice capture Stan... do you suppose with an over $100.00 fill up you may get an Ivory-billed Woodpecker? ;) Happy trails...

C'mon, Dave, it takes more than that to earn an ivory bill. Thanks for the idea, though.
