Anticipation turned to anxiousness, turned to dread. We fear the worst. What happened down there in those wild river bottoms? What gift have you offered these mysterious, lovely, and wild birds?<br /><br />My god, man, if you're well send word!Feldenstein Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-1751149245200087702019-05-11T09:28:56.488-07:002019-05-11T09:28:56.488-07:00We have a cliff across the street, with a wonderfu...We have a cliff across the street, with a wonderful preserve with wonderful river bottom trails and all sorts of scrub and chaparral. The turkey vultures, as though knowing how majestic they are, enjoy spiraling over the this land, sometimes hundreds of feet in the sky, and then and skirting the chaparral and small oaks on the ridge top, sometimes coming within twenty feet of us who are rooted on land. And rarely, but it happens, they do sometimes land, and their pink faces appear more defined, almost human. <br /><br />Today I will likely be outside, since it's good for me and has all sorts of things like clouds and sunlight and turkey vultures. Also, it is not raining here, and though I am, like you, in my pajamas (is that what you meant by not dressed yet?) (Oh, but I only wear pajama bottoms--technically I sleep in a T-shirt), I will venture out and report on any turkey vulture sightings.
