=0A>Beautiful evening and the east wind was kind enough to be quite as the=
sun=C2=A0=0A>went down and the river was still. The water level is lower =
than we ever saw last summer=0A>and its only mid-June. But the paddling w=
as easy.=0A>At sundown the river herring started to take flies of the surf=
ace. 10 - 12 could be seen at once.=0A>They are heading out to sea and ar=

a tree - looked like a second year lad. She/he was wanting=0A>kippers for=
dinner and as the herring were on the surface no doubt would have one.=0A=

the river but the grackle wasn't up to the task and as the hawk grabbed=0A=

in a pie.=0A>I don't know if the hawk had learned to hunt near eagles or =
