I took Friday off from work in hopes of putting a few miles on the ole' hiking boots. It was a beautiful day for hiking. Mammal sightings have been far and few. Food is abundant which minimizes there travel . Bear scat and puke was in the usual pocketed areas in my 13 mile day . I walked some of the northwest shoreline and did capture a pic of a
Greater Yellow Legs
Reviewing my bird books I am hoping I identified the above bird accurately. Interesting reading about it, Typically they are one of the first shore birds to arrive in the northeast . They are also the first to leave in late June and July. This bird is three months behind the average with departing New England.
This morning I headed out early for a morning of hiking at a northeast gate
Hiked 8 miles today not 'seeing much. Did hear a barred owl , several loons and a pileated woodpecker.
