Benefits to walking Fuzz in the late morning hours: gaggle of geese hanging out on the trail, there must have been eight or ten, all watching and waiting to see how far towards them we would walk but not ready to run or fly off; ducklings learning their life skills from mom and dad, swimming, running on water, ducking under the tree leaves to hide from us; one baby duck running on the trail in front of us, trying to go faster than us but was not succeeding; instead the duckling hid in the weeds in the middle of the trail - pretty damn good hiding too because I couldn't see him as we walked past; bee keepers smoking their hives and the farmers tending to their large fields.
We haven't seen the eagles in a couple months now; I like to think they have two homes, one summer home in the mountains and one winter home in the valley. Lucky eagles, must have got some inheritance from their parents.
No deer in a while either, but at least with the deer I know they are always around its just how well they hid in the tall weeds. How can they not be around when the farmers land is easily accessible and there is fresh water at their feet? Maybe the ducks chase them off, like a turf war or something.
I wonder what tomorrow's walk will bring for us.
