Murphy Lake SGA - 10/20/07

Mary Beth and I were back out at Murphy Lake again today. While we were out there we got turned around came across an old man in a deer blind hunting. He was really nice and didn't get mad at us, but he was really creepy. Like the kind of person who would kidnap you and put you in a pit in the bottom of his basement. He showed us how to get back to our cars and then went back to his blind ... or so we thought. After we got a little ways ahead, he started to follow us. If you've ever been stalked by a back-woods hick carrying a bow-and-arrow, then you'd know it's not a very good feeling. Luckily he turned around and DIDN'T shoot us in the back.

Birds seen/heard include: Robins, House Finch, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Hermit Thrushes, several Aythya sp., Canada Geese, Great Blue Heron, White-throated Sparrows, Cedar Waxwings, and a Hairy Woodpecker.

No hawks, although there was a Sharpie at my feeders this morning hunting for some breakfast.
