8 days in Nebraska (pictures)

[Eric Smith]

Tell us about the nests.

WW

Wade,

I snapped the first picture of the nest on Monday. The species escapes me (CJ knows what it is). It was located in the landing zone of the par 4 11th. The grounds crew had placed flags around it in order to keep folks from driving over it.

Later in the week the little guys began to hatch!

I'm not certain, but I'd bet that is the Snowy Plover.

I'm under the impression this bird is on the endangered species lists because last year the park rangers closed sections of the parking lot at Lake Mac because the lake was so high, the birds had nowhere to make their nests. Funny how these birds are everywhere, yet endangered.

It was a killdeer nest.

    Yes, Michael, that stuff. Spicy, smooth but complex.

El Bogero, that Tennessee walker, will be disappointed I have switched my allegiance.

I am devastated.  The man crush - over. 

I can deal with the fact that you haven't favored me with access to any of America's great courses in over five years, but this is a betrayal.  I knew when you first switched from Budweiser this day would come. 

I am crestfallen.

Mike to you.

Bogero:

    I will try to break it to you gently.

You see, today I received a shipment of my new favorite beer from one, Mike Whitaker.

It's over and I'm sorry.

Now I must return to the thousand year conflict.
