      Had a very short stop in Montana when riding Amtrak. one cache found that could have turned into missing the train if I hadn’t spotted the one place that it made sense for it to be after a quick look around didn’t reveal it.

      I think I might have to pound down the reviewers door at some time, no new caches published in almost a week.

      The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

        Even though it felt more like late November outside, I saw lots of cool birds while I was out at a couple spots today.  My birding day ended by watching an Osprey at fairly close range dive into the Black River and come up with a good sized fish in its talons.  After that, I figured nothing could top it, so I went home!

        The pelicans are back on Buttes Des Morts for at least a week now. I am waiting for what I believe are the golden eyed ducks to return. The red-winged black birds are scurrying about. I’m a little afraid to go for a cache tomorrow knowing how aggressive they are at this time in the marsh (or alongside the road).

        Our goldfinches are not as dirty. And, the woodpeckers have been very active. The robins are doing their death dance as expected as well. We saw the trumpeter swans up north in the Rainbow Flowage last month. Very cool!

        We have a lot of eagles where we are so it’s not as majestic as it used to be when we lived in Milwaukee. However, watching an eagle take a bath is the silliest thing you may ever witness.

         

        Soon the Yellow Warblers will be siting in the trees by my work and the Scarlet Tanagers will be on the trail nearby. (My spelling is probably off.)

        But, for me it’s our resident great-horned owls that always take my breath away.

        OK-I like birds truth be known. I may have a book and a CD with their sounds.

        I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

        I know.  I figured if no new caches were published by early afternoon, I would have sent Bec a message on Facebook, more out of concern if everything was okay out there in the land of Reviewers.  Now I know everything is alright out there.  I need to learn how to keep calm and carry on.  Shameless plug, one of the new ones is mine.

          Only one? You always need one more than you have, you know.  I’m waiting for a good coupon to get my next book, lol.

          I just had a male Pileated Woodpecker at one of my suet blocks. In January there was a female at different suet block and that prompted me to put out a larger block, thinking that would be more comfortable for them. The Pileated Woodpeckers still go to the small blocks,….. Chickadees seem to like the large one.

            The starlings eat up my suet cakes before anything else can get at them…grrr!

              The nice thing is that the deer have stopped raiding my feeders…but those tasty flower buds popping up are sure going to be tempting soon. I have a deer cam set up on my arbor and there’s been no sign of them lately.
