Hideaway Haze

Birds and fish were of course exempt since they practice their oeuvre in different–and more silent–media than their earthbound brethren. And, of course, they aren’t mammalian. In case you haven’t noticed.

However, two days ago, Mother Nature kicked old Hypnos from her cozy couch and became fully alert. She’ll thank you not to ask questions about this, by the way. That very evening, a doe and twin fawns dropped by and grazed on pond side greenery near the island. They were followed shortly thereafter by two 4 point bucks. They waded in the same area, coming close to the porch before disappearing into the woods.

Rutting season being on the cusp, the bucks will no doubt soon gird themselves for antlered action. Competition for the comely young does who flaunt their charms in the nearby woods.

To round off the day, my lovely bride discovered a raccoon lurking near the front porch at twilight. It lumbered off, no doubt disconsolate at having found a lack of loot in the vicinity.

Two young does showed up on a point near the island during breakfast this morning, but they soon retreated back into the woods. Perhaps too polite to interrupt.

Half way through morning coffee, I remarked to Shari about how much the trees on the island had grown since I cleared the land for the pond. Then it occurred to me that it was half my lifetime ago. Tempus fugit.

We had concluded that the bears had written us off of their dance cards for the season. But in mid-afternoon a very large guy passed us on the opposite side of the pond. There are several bears in the area this large, but we suspect that this could be the one that dropped in a year ago for a drink and a dip in the pond. Shari has named him Barry. She didn’t even invite the bear’s approval. Crass. I’ve attached a photo of “Barry” just in case you‘re interested. Or not.

The high point, and grand finale of the day was the splash down of a pair of beautiful little wood ducks. Our first of the season. They loitered for an hour or so, snacking on pond side veggies. Then they took to the air. Off to some far away latitude marked only on their instinctive navigation charts.

Buon viaggio, little birds. Buon viaggio
