Light on the wildlife today — a few hawks, an otter, a ton of sizable turtles.
I can never tell the difference between cranes, herons, and egrets. I really need to just spend the time and learn it.
Autumn starts making appearances in about a month, leaves change in about two. Nice time to do it.
Going with SonPK tomorrow, this time a one-way float down the canal. A wonderful paddle.
Paddle with your son....brings back memories of when my Dad paddled me 😋😋😋😋
Guess I deserved it...however I’ll never forget the time he made me go across the street and pick out my own switch 😈😈😈😈
I couldn’t decide...a skinny short one...or a thick one...took me too long to decide....pissed him off
Next thing I knew ...here he came across the street and picked out this skinny slick little branch and proceeded to show me the way home....
I’ll never forget that day...even myMomma cried....was 1948 I recollect...anyway...
I think the whole thing was over me paying the ice cream man on our street 10 cents for me and Milton a pop cycle
I don’t think it was because I became a Duke fan....ahhhh childhood memories
Yes...oh yes...I do enjoy an occasional cold beer 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😋😋
There are only 2 kinds of crane native to North America, sandhill (summers in Canada, winters in Texas and Florida and coastal southern Georgia) and whooping - an endangered species. You don't see whooping cranes in Georgia. Sandhill cranes are big with mostly brown feathers, grey necks, and a red patch near the eye. Quick guide to the others - the all white ones are egrets, the bigger of the all white ones are great egrets, the medium sized all white ones are snowy egrets, you might see some lesser egrets too. The blue and grey big ones are great blue herons. The ones that look like they are stalking you at dusk, ready to steal something, are night herons. You might also be seeing some ibises.
Stopping by this state park later today. But not to do any bird watching this time.
