• Lost Duckling

  

  No telling what tomorrow will bring, most likely for me less answers than questions.

• Daybreak brought the Honkers.

  

  I’m happy to see they returned to the slough, as I said last year it sure would be nice if they nest here. I hope for the same thing every year, each time I am disappointed but they do manage to return during the February false Spring. I hope to see them again tomorrow; if not some one else will magically appear.

• Spotted Belly Geese; The Great White Bellied Goose.

  This female has been around for a lot of years, we’re so used to one another she flies off when ever I am spotted. We play this game of catch me if you can, I normally can’t which makes her the winner. But she keeps coming back for more.

• Blue Heron

  The Blue Herons are around the slough most of the time. It’s odd when at least one is not within view, they have a loud AWK letting it loose while flying or right before taking off.

• Some Days Just Makes an Old Guy Wonder.

  There are only 2,000 people on the Island, we all know pretty much everyone. I can’t figure out how some people are able to go out in public after their remarks. It’s always the same people tossing out the same insults to the same insultees, is this nuts or what? Oh Lord please have this self Quarantine end within the next 6 months to one year.

• Doves.

  Their landings should be of little surprise after seeing how the nests are constructed. Some balance precariously on unstable precipices. Some people are tempted to help them by “shoring” up the works. However the best help we can give is to simply leave them alone to their own devices.

• Turkey Vultures

  During their silent search for a meal they glide effortlessly through the skies.

• Gulls in the Wind.

  The waves don’t bother them, if the wind does it’s not shown however they show up in greater numbers when the wind is down. They are a joy to watch with or without the wind they are always actively on the search for another meal.

• Fledgling Dove Stuck on a Wire.

  As I recall Foghorn Leghorn said it, and I use it all of the time. It must have been written by someone who was watching Doves it goes such; “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.” If you dought it just watch a Ring Necked Dove land.
