It was strange to get used to last year but now I think I'm in the swing of things. It puts me 3 hours behind you now though.

Turkeys are the only bird we've ever had walk right up to the blind without any concern; deer seem a bit apprehensive, but as long as it doesn't move and they don't smell us they usually continue about their business. For songbirds (and maybe ducks too) it would probably be best along a treeline or next to some other brush/grass/weeds that would help break up the blind's outline a bit more.<BR/><BR/>Longer days means I get to watch birds in the backyard while eating my supper and still enjoy a walk before it gets dark.

Been working too much lately. That'll be changing in about 10 days, anyway.<BR/>The quarry picture reminds me of a quarry I used to frequent up in Canada. Had some moving evenings alone there...great memories. Unfortunately they turned it into an overpriced subdivision since then. *sigh*Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-57018361583796057032008-03-19T20:06:00.000-05:002008-03-19T20:06:00.000-05:00Ooops.

He thought he'd pass out from roasting inside.

I do prefer to walk around rather than sit even if I do scare some birds away. The extra hour of daylight is not a bonus here yet. After the equinox we will notice the days lengthening faster in the north. Right now they are shorter than yours still.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-86529123307431261552008-03-18T10:36:00.000-05:002008-03-18T10:36:00.000-05:00Great post!!
