Lessons from West Texas

Jackrabbits being all spindly at the National Ranching Heritage Center.

 While in Lubbock for the Society of Environmental Journalists conference, I was delighted to see new wildlife and landscapes, namely:

1. Grackles are sassier in Texas.
2. Jackrabbits look like deer with long ears.
3. Palo Duro Canyon is especially impressive after driving two hours across flat, flat, flat brown plains.
