kayreForced myself to go walk today (okay, yesterday) despite a high temperature of 25 F. My virtue was rewarded, within the first 100 yards of walking, by sightings of a redbellied woodpecker, the remaining blue heron and two redtailed hawks. I saw and heard many more woodpeckers; heard the kingfisher; and saw yet another hawk later.
Since it is dry again, I walked the longest trail in the park. Parts of the trail were pockmarked from the last hard rain; thick frost formed in all the little depressions today. Walking across these patches sounded like strings of firecrackers going off, as all that frost cracked underfoot.
There were fresh deer tracks across the frost; and many of the big shelf fungi I admire have been nibbled off within the last few days.
Ten miles to Rivendell!
