You may need to squint your eyes to see the dove, sitting on the wire, to the left.
Speaking of Larry, congratulations to him for his award.

CWC - 7TX0 - F14 - SPS - CWC
Just landed one day and my hangar door already opened, Austin, the lineman at Kickapoo Airport, trundled over in the tractor to help me put my V-tail away, then asked me for a joy ride. "You bet," I said, happy to show my appreciation for his professionalism and good service.
Not long after, MyMrMallory, pilot-in-command, Austin, in the right seat, and I, in the back seat, piled in during a pleasant morning. The route MyMrMallory planned was exciting: Take off from Kickapoo and land at Danaher Airport, and, if Mac McGregor was there, we would visit with him for a while. Then, take off from Danaher and then land at Wichita Valley; then fly over to Sheppard and land at Wichita Falls Regional; from there, return to Kickapoo. Few cities can claim four airports within a ten mile radius! Wichita Falls is rich in aviation history and it delightfully shows.
Off the port-side wing, Danaher Airport (7TX0) recently received new pavement, numbers, and stripes. (Better pictures forthcoming.)

Prairie Dogs and Swainson's Hawks
Swanson's hawk overhead.
Several hawks stood on the bushes within the perimeter of Prairie Dog Town; others flew overhead.
I saw only two Burrowing owls this time.

Snow-on-the-Prairie plants are prolific.
