Another fine morning and absolutely no wind. Well almost no wind. I do have that vegan diet so there is no guarantee. There was not much change since yesterday. I saw a Brown thrasher for a second but couldn't get a lock on it. There were both male and female Eastern towhee but they were having a trial separation, or so it seemed. Just for a few seconds saw another Field sparrow, but never close. RTH flew over and cast an ominous shadow. Four Winter wrens and several kinglets, both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned (60/40) ratio. A few Myrtle warblers looking for gnats. Only three Hermit thrushes, mostly in trees instead of on the ground. YBSS flying around but rarely on the trunk of a tree. A busy Pileated woodpecker checking to see if everything is as it remembers it to be. This time I was standing directly in the middle of a deer spoor and a deer walked right up to me, about three meters away, stopped and stared at me. Then I remembered that I previously had to communicate to a deer that I wanted to pass and gestured accordingly. It hit me, this deer is waiting for me to step aside. So I stepped a few paces away from the spoor and it then proceeded past me ... quid pro quo.
