During periods of high water, the grassland shown here is submerged. In fact, the view shot in "East Creek, The Old-Fashioned Way" was taken at reservoir maximum, looking 180° from a spot only a few feet away from where I stood today. This periodic flooding creates excellent habitat for all sorts of birds and wildlife, including at least one beaver whose tree-felling skills were much in evidence.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
