I envy your discovery of the local species and all the "what the hell was THAT" questions that will come up.<br /><br />Tom, I am still reading about and looking at the pictures from our more recent exploits in space. I was accepted at N.C. State College of Forestry on the same day as as the college I went to. I was barely seventeen and didn't have a clue as to what I wanted to be when I grew up. Still don't.

A flock of them used to hang out near our acreage in Alberta, but I don't know if they come this far west. We're still learning about all the indigenous flora and fauna here - great fun!Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-82454382466486322982017-09-20T06:05:14.628-07:002017-09-20T06:05:14.628-07:00piseth san, It is, which makes the transition into...piseth san, It is, which makes the transition into "the cold, dark time" more bearable. <br /><br />Research, B.C., like several places I would like to see, deserves at least a year to explore and appreciate.

My favourites: west coast of Vancouver Island (Tofino or Ucluelet), Nelson and pretty much anywhere in the Kootenays, the south Okanagan (where I live), and Victoria. If you do plan a trip, post your itinerary so I can make some suggestions.

You're not so bad yourself. ;)<br /><br />jenny_o, The old man was full of surprises, but always very low key about these things. Eleven years after his death he still amazes me. We have a lot of hawks heading south as well as every other species that does that.<br /><br />angryparsnip, I think I would have followed your father up the mountain to work a lot. That is very cool!<br /><br />Sharon, There is very little light pollution where I live. I look up quite a bit after dark. The aurora was out last night. It was at least 200 yards to the cranes. I am less a fan of winter every year, but I try to make the best of it. I have to go at least a hundred miles south to see a few oaks.<br /><br />Research, Their honks are what drew me to them when they started showing up about fifteen years ago. It is unmistakable. I need to get out to B.C. before I kick the bucket.<br /><br />ABFTS, It was phenomenal how much he wrote and all those who missed it when he was gone. Birthdays were always a good excuse for him. I don't mind writing, but finding something to write about is always a challenge.

PBS had a special on when Cassinni came to an end. What marvelous information we received from the probe. I almost hated to hear its demise. <br /><br />Nice shots of the cranes. Yes, time for the migration to begin again. I'm not a fan of winter ...<br /><br />You really should have a pretty fall this year. I know how pretty it got when I lived in MN. (But, it gets pretty here - if we go for a drive - it's mostly oak around the house.)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-79837834919756266212017-09-17T18:50:49.992-07:002017-09-17T18:50:49.992-07:00I am so interested in space and the stars.

I can only start to imagine how they actually felt.<br /><br />Our significantly smaller migratory birds than your cranes are starting to flock together in the trees and do practice swooping in a big gang. It won't be long until our leaves start to turn colour also.
