Walked from Port Robinson to Downtown Welland along the Circle Route Trail. Weather was bee-yoo-tee-full. Saw a flock of red winged blackbirds, a calling heron, a rabbit, gaggles of geese, and roosting turkeys in the tops of trees! Asked several people on the trail if this was the way to Volcano's Pizza. They all said "yes" and smiled. Tested my brother's GPS unit so I can feel comfortable with it on my trip to Teeterville Friday. (Snow Day. Any non-Canadians out there need a translation for 'snow day'?)
Got home and listened to the Great Lake Swimmers new CD Ongiara. New Favourite.

Funny - I actually miss red winged black birds...
But the turkeys! They were in trees! After the Thanksgiving episode of "WKRP in Cincinattii" everyone my age seems to be under the impression that turkeys can't fly. It's like the urban myth that kids from the Bronx all believe that bears are the same size as giraffes, because they're the same size in the box of Animal Crackers. We couldn't figure out what these birds were at first in the dim light. We thought they might be herons due to their size. After a minute or two one got spooked and flew and there was no doubt. What kind of birds do you see in Korea? Is there a local variation of the Peterson's guide? (Please don't tell me they eat all the birds!)
