A mixed bag plus Roger's bird list!

I specifically decided to look for cats during this mornings walk.

And I found a few.

Enjoying the rising sun.

But then got sidetracked by the medical helicopter lifting off from our local hospital and happened to catch a Raven in the frame.

And couldn't pass up this snail and his/hers, its? shadow!

As for Roger's list of birds spotted during our Skunk Train track trek....
Let me mention, we walked from Willits to Fort Bragg NOT from Fort Bragg to Willits. It doesn't change the 40 mile distance but it does change the progression of bird sightings.

  1. Wow Ron. That is quite a list of different birds spotted on your walk. I see your cats are the same as our - like to sit and watch the world go by.
