For the first time in thirty years, I will be putting on my uniform and joining with my colleagues and friends at Margaret Anderson's memorial on Tuesday. I had to get new trousers because the years show a bit too profoundly on my lower portions, and I bought two pair with a thought in the back of my mind. It is a thought I've entertained on quite a number of occasions during those three decades, but for one reason or another, never managed to put into action. My resolve has strengthened through this tragedy, and for all I wish the circumstances might have been different, I now have the motivation to inquire about a volunteer position with the Park.
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.
