| Bird(s) of the week. Newly fledged Eastern Wood Pewees, right along the creek between the house and the barn | 
Yeah, we went parking last night....It's true. There was another car down there at the boat launch and I suspect that they were really parking.
| A soggy Merlin we found the other day | 
We were just listening for owls. It was a beautiful evening, with a sweet little golden crescent moon, the star that dogs it dangling nearby, any number of glowing planets, and just before the darkness set in, a clear sky as orange as...well, as an orange. Wish you could have seen Big Nose and Little Nose silhouetted against all that from the top of the hill above 5S.
| Green Heron | 
Very nice. Full dark down at the river, but with a fine array of stars showing and lights from the locks and the local houses reflecting on its calm, still surface.
| Great Blue Heron | 
No owls, but three Killdeers screaming in the dark up on an Amish farm we passed. That was kinda cool.
| A soggy Red-tailed Hawk (immature) | 
What? Did you think at our age we were getting up to anything but chasing elusive birds out there in the dark? Um......Nope.....it didn't happen
| Song Sparrow |
