Weekend update

The weather was cool (60s) and overcast, like a visiting friend who has a headache but wants to try to make the most of his last day here.

And I was determined to make the most if it. So Sam and I went to Mendon Ponds in the afternoon for a few hours. First we hiked some trails. These trails have stations where, if you brought your own bird seed, you can stand with your hand outstretched and chickadees and nuthatches may land on your hand. Sam and I both tried this. I got two visitors, but they weren't too confident of Sam. So he put some seed on a bench and one of them sampled that.

Eagle-eye Sam spotted a bee hive while hiking, also shown here.

Enough for now--need to post photos from the past week...
