Along Nolan Creek

It was a rich day. We haven't been here in over a week and so were wondering what we would see. Well, among other things, 3 Great Blue Herons, 2 spiders, 5 crows (mobbing a hawk), and a Red-shouldered Hawk (one of the youngsters we have watched here all summer). We had never seen crow mobbing behavior before and were quite startled. The hawk came back 3 times and was chased away (loudly) the the crows each time. I came home and researched it - in case any one is interested. http://archive-srel.uga.edu/outreach/ecoviews/ecoview110320.htm

Other than that it was a lovely end-of-October early morning walk.

The creek is still high and running fast. Huge masses of driftwood cluster around the bases of the bridges (BIG tree trunks as well as little stuff). Another tree has fallen and is taped off for safety.

Police patrolled today. That was new.

The weather is supposed to change tomorrow.
