Happy New Year!!!
Shuttled over to the Post Office...Cuckoo Clock came...needed a wall clock...and the little book about Olmsted came...review soon...intro is very good..Olmsted did, and wrote about, some important things, and not just Parks!...paddled back through Bobcat Meadow...was on the Boardwalk near the Lily Pads, and sighted BigBig Wings flying high across the Meadow...and Big Wings was flying slow enough I could get the new camera out....took another continuous sequence like with Hawk in Two Top Pine Meadow a few days back...wasn't sure who Big Wings was, until I sat by the Elm and reviewed the pics...Blue Heron!...Heron continued past the Falls and disappeared into the Trees of the Hanging Sloping Valley...studied the area a bit with the scope...suspect Heron might have home thereabout...after work, related the sighting to friends, and one said their son had been hiking thereabout a week or so ago, and sighted Blue Heron flying there too...made a complete circle of Bobcat Meadow...then across Chapel Bridge and the Big Loop...clockwise...quietquiet....sunny with high scattered overcast clouds, cool....Chickaree in the old Boiler Cabin when I got back...wall has a hole, and Chickaree was sitting in it, looking out, and piping, thought it was Ground Squirrel...Ground Squirrels all asleep....I see Chickaree and two or three Grey Squirrels in the Backyard almost everyday....sighted Mama Doe and One Fawn in the Oak Grove from the Shuttle...
