Well I finally managed to sneak away for a short trout fishing excursion. =
On that particular outing I encountered a pair of palm warblers which were =
very aggitated. I also=2C heard a hawk of some sort screeching=2C but it w=
as quite far from where I was. Other neat things were a barred owl vocaliz=
ing at 19:00 and an American woodcock doing the mating dance in the sky wit=
h the dropping down and the tell tale pent call. =20
=20
On the fish end I released five trout=2C which were considered by me as too=
small for the frying pan and kept one only. I actually ran out of bait an=
d was going to fall back on my fly rod. It is a nice Brown's rod=2C blue i=
n color=2C which has done well for the last 20-25 years without any harm. =
Well when I put the rod together it sagged and upon inspection was fracture=
d. I had been carrying it in the back of the car and gave instructions tha=
t it was there and to be careful and mindful of it. From what I can determ=
ine it succumbed to a bag of laundry carelessly thrown in on top of the rod=
. We won't mention any names as to the infractee.
=20
My other disappointment was that I had requested time off on Sunday in hope=
s of being able to get to the AGM for part of the day for the Federation an=
d also three vacation days thereafter. Somehow=2C they lost my paper work =
and therefore I had to work Sunday. Oh well=2C once before I had to ask fo=
r photocopies of my requests. It is a sad day when one has to resort to su=
ch again. =20
=20
Interestingly enough there have been reports of northern shrikes locally. =
One was at Gold River and a suspected other at Second Peninsula. At Second=
Peninsula my reportee tells me that he found a bee impaled on a barbed wir=
e fence. The only bird that we know that would do such a thing is the butc=
her bird or Northern Shrike. Maybe it is the same bird that was at Gold Ri=
ver.
