Rambling on the Rickreall

 The Rickreall Creek Trail System has become our focal point as we attempt to expose our friend Rod Graves to the walking and birding opportunities adjacent to the Dallas Retirement Village. The RCTS not only travels through the Dallas City Park, but all through the entire city of Dallas. Each day we have walked a different section of the trail.

Yesterday, we invited our friend, and fellow resident, LaVerda Gallager along as we explored the east-end of the Rickreall Creek Trail System, starting at the Aquatics Center. e-Bird Checklist July 11, 2023.

Today's birdwalk was at the west-end of the RCTS and included the addition of friend and fellow resident Linda Dawson. We parked at Kingsborough Park and headed west to follow along the creek next to a residential area and then dropped down to the asphalt section of the RCTS, and to the very creekside.

The dry days of summer are upon us, and the creek is at summer lows. Still we enjoyed the bird songs and found Merlin Sound ID invaluable in identifying the song of unseen birds. e-Bird Checklist July 12, 2023.

The "girls" tried to run away with a fourwheeled bike.  In truth it belonged to trail friends Bill and June.
