Managed to haul out far more trash than these pictures show. Three tires, a barrel, about 10 to 15 bags of trash.

Stan had already off-loaded and was going back for more...

This was taken somewhere else, but it reminded me of the Kildeer that had a nest in the parking lot at last year's Bayou Meto clean up. Look close - she's standing over her four eggs. This bird was a great momma - when I got too close, she jumped up and ran a few feet away, doing the broken wing trick. When I didn't go for that, she ran at my ankles - I think she was seriously thinking about trying to take me down. Later her mate also joined in the act.
