Happy Birthday Dale!

[Carol P.]

I thought of you this weekend Dale, as I always do, when I see that most foreign creature, the groundhog, sauntering across the end of the pedestrian bridge.  Not once, not twice, but three times!  Back and forth, going about its business.  Whatever that might have been.  It seemed to be content and so were the watchers watching it.  So good to hear from you my friend.  Miss you.

Awww loved the fledgling robin and little squirrel story.  Sorry you got a big job on your birthday, but at least you got a chance to check in.  And yes SWALLOWS

Wish I could have seen that, Carol. I never ever ever see those...and Donna, that is one scary image!!  We do have about a zillion peregrine nests in the city, but none make ginormous dive-bombing eyases.  That chick will ding its bill seriously on the Bean, if it doesn't watch out!

Well, you'll just need to come visit again sometime to see all our critters.  You would love the massive beaver we've been seeing cruising on the river below the pedestrian bridge.  How s/he gets so big on just salad is beyond me.

Dale, that is one of the Evanston eyases! Wrigley!!!
