Walking

Spent quite a bit of the day walking, first in town looking for rentals, then on the bog trail at Waterloo Recreation Area with Law School P., who is heading for Portland, Oregon, for the summer. P.'s a good one to walk with - just the right level of chatting and he knows when to shut it, like when the barred owl started to hoot (and then made a ghostly shadow across the green leaves off to our right). He even risked warbler neck and helped me search vainly for the black-throated green warblers zee-zoo-zoo-zeeing all around us.
