Yes. Completely spellbinding. I was startled to learn after doing some research later that our wintering snow goose population is relatively small. They number in the millions in the Sacramento Valley.

What an experience!

I remember you writing about the Anderson Calendar before, but don't recall the details.

Is it a wall calendar?

Also, Ron and I encountered a wildlife "refuge" in Montana, where the only people who could enter were hunters. I guess I'm naive, because this surprised (and horrified) me.

Seems there could be a more accurate name than 'refuge' if there's a chance of being killed(?)

Sorry. Cranes and Ravens don’t mix well. Not enough headroom.

Wow!

Was the sound of wings and voices as spectacular as seeing them?

Yes!

Would love to have a sandhill crane in my front yard.

Maybe you could deliver one on your way down south?

Even though you're not on tour, I still look forward to reading your journal. Now, I give more than a cursory glance at gulls and shorebirds.

Cool shot. The mountain looks so ominous.

Sorry you got rained on, I impressed you kept going. I can’t wait to get to Tucson! We’ll arrive on December 17 and leave on January 28. I hope we can get together with both you and Jacinto! We owe you a nice dinner for rescuing us when we lost Scott’s wallet.

Pickleball. Although I'd probably enjoy it I can't get past my preconceived notion that it's a game invented to keep geriatrics active and mobile. I refuse to admit that I'm old.

Especially if you smelled like rotting meat.

I was in upper Michigan once a long time ago in my tiny 1974 Honda Civic, at night, blinker on, and a screech owl thought it was something and he dove at my front blinker and broke his neck. He was wedged behind the exposed type blinker. Such a beautiful little bird. I felt awful. I had him in my freezer for two years asking every taxidermist to preserve him for me but no one would touch that one. They all told me they would lose their license and be fined thousands of dollars. Too bad, it's not like I shot the little owl.

Or the crows near BCIT in Burnaby, where I used to work (and lived nearby too).
