The plan this morning was to hike Gate 30 to the shoreline in hopes of seeing a coyote or eagle. The plowed road made for easy walking. Tracks of deer and coyotes were scattered throughout the walk. I stopped for a while and watched several fields. Local winter birds were active. Other than seeing a squirrel, it was not a busy day for mammals. Guess every weekend can’t be as eventful as last weekend. My wife has been seeing a pair of redtail hawks starting to work (housekeeping) around an established nest site. Eagles should also be starting this activity. You might think I am somewhat optimistic….. Spring is just around the corner! I can see cabin fever must be setting in for many folks. I passed more people hiking today than I have seen in four months Jim
