a real cut up
Aug. 22nd, 2024 12:26 amToday, cut up a bunch more dead wood. There's so much of it around. Been doing this when it's cool enough for months.
Today I was using the chain saw. Suddenly, a peregrine falcon (or maybe a juvenile redtailed hawk) started to land on the fence about 8 feet away, but then when he/she saw I was still moving, they retreated... to another position about 30 feet away... and just, watched me.
Then I went in the house.. and saw them poking around in the dead wood pile (for bugs?) .. and then in the bushes.
I didn't know what they wanted, so I started the hose running in case they were thirsty. Did not see 'em go for a drink or a bath though. They hung around about 40 minutes. I haven't checked the photos yet (I don't think I got great ones bcuz I was trying not to scare them away).. but if any turned out okay I'll post 'em eventually.
