Tiny violin on repeat this week and it’s only Wednesday, novel revisions continue, my teen takes his final school final tomorrow, camping at Lake Tahoe is scant weeks away (teen has never been camping), the dog’s blood test results are due tomorrow and we can go from there, probably some planet is in retrograde and yet others are obviously rotating normally, pigs still can’t fly unless they’re ocean seapigs, revision is 90% of my writing life, May Gray is morphing into June Gloom, I’m swimming laps in the freezing HOA pool, the most important people in my life are healthy and/or coping as the planet heats up, so–right on?

Hang in there. I hope you see some lovely birds when you go camping.
Saw a Western bluebird yesterday 2 mins from home. Love them so!
What birds are you seeing?
I’ve been treking with some younger people lately who have been getting me out of the house. I’ve seen more bird species this year than in any previous one I’ve logged, so that’s cool. But I like naps too! haha.
I did see and experience a King Rail the other day. That’s a lifer, as was a Loggerhead Shrike. Also had a couple of great owl sightings and wood warblers. I really need to blog about this stuff again. Thanks for reminding me!
Awesome, David. I hope one day to see a shrike! Googling King Rail. A pair of great horned owls hoot around our house every night, love it.
