Fall Notes: Harbingers

A taste of what's coming. On the ridge tops a dusting of white from the leaden clouds.


Overhead, exactly twenty sandhills flap by, calling out, according to Peterson's Field Guide to Western Birds,  their shrill rolling garoooo-a-a-a's, and tuk-tuk -- tuk-tuk -- tuk-tuk's, and even a gooselike onk.


They fly determinedly into the distance--heading north.


But they'll figure it out. And so will we.

  1. It's also come to Northern California. The snow level this morning was 4000 which was just up the street.
