<br/>> This morning, at around 11 a.m., while on my way between Port Wade and Granville Ferry, I say a largish salamander in lively looking marching mode, crossing the highway - this was maybe 2 km. before reaching Granville Ferry. I could not stop as it was a very unsafe curve, so don't know the species. However, interesting to see one out and about
<br/>> Also worthy ofmention. I am still seeing dragonflies around my place at Round Hill. The are very active and quick and so I have not been able to see or photograph them up close for an ID, but they appear to be dark blue - of good size - so I am thinking a Darner of some sort. They are probably hunting the rather annoying little flies that are much attracted to fruit - seem like fruit flies, actually. I have noticed them around whenever I am cooking outdoors, which is most of the time. Anyhow, I think those are on the menu for the dragonflies as they fly around the garden, occasionally approaching the barbecue to nab a few of the small flies.
<br/>> Still seeing Turkey Vultures cruising the skiy above my place.
<br/>> Had a Red-tailed Hawk do a very sharp stall and tight circle quite low over the front lawn last week - apparently startled by my folk art whale weathervane on the tower roof. If then gave it a close look while slowly passing over the roof of my house.
