On May 11, I finally finished my work on the Armstrong Ranch.
I put up the one goldfish taken today along with four kids used as
fake kids since I settled them here April 30. Additionally, I put up
a Tropical Parula I shot by mistake and a Buff-bellied Hummingbird given me
by Mr. John Armstrong, who found it dead on his ranch.
