Fun run with Tom today! Shorts weather in December with some sun poking through always makes for a nice run! On the trail we had to move a tree that a beaver had cut down. He had been working hard...he had cut the tree down and then started up the trunk a bit on the trail. He left a mess. We cleaned up most of it, just a few shavings left. It would have been fun to see him in action. We've never noticed beaver or many signs of them in the past. We will keep an eye out for them more now that we have evidence that they are there! We also watched a big ole owl swoop away and then what we are calling a Blue Herron. Not sure if that is what it is or not. We saw him the other day too and one of the guys said that is what it is. Whatever he is, he is huge...I'm not quite sure how he flies! Our final bird watching event of the day was a hawk that was being picked on by some small bird. I'm not sure why the little guy was so feisty! But I'm sure if the hawk would have wanted to he could have eaten the little guy for lunch!
