CALL OF THE WILD

Big Bore and I went on a Sunday afternoon drive yesterday, in lieu of cleaning up the house, which is totally no fun. Periodically, we’d stop the truck to explore our surroundings. We’ve had our eagle eyes on the huge nest above for several months, but this was the first time we’d actually seen ol’ Baldy at home. It was busily tending to whatever was inside the nest, so, unfortunately, we never could get it to look up and smile for the camera.

I was looking for rocks at the edge of Mossy Ford when I came across these cute little raccoon paw prints. They almost look like human baby handprints, don’t they? I like raccoons--provided they aren’t living in my garage like one did a few years back.

The scariest animal I encountered on the outing was in some trees and brush along the Fall River. I don't know what it was, but it was sure big and hairy

Yes, Dus, some little ones would be cool. This nest is on Ranch Road about a quarter mile behind Gulick's house, east of the big Teichgraeber place.

Thanks - maybe this weekend while we're in Toronto for all the alumni schennanigans we could go for a drive. Hey - Trent Crisswell playing at the toronto Gym Saturday night 9-M. You and Bib Bore ready for a night out in the big ol town of Toronto!?
