Day 130: Some of you...the ones who were fortunate enough to discover "Winnie the Pooh" before Disney destroyed it...will remember the chapter "In Which Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle." I felt rather like I'd stepped into their circle today when I discovered that my walking route at T Woods had been retraced by a coyote. Not only had it followed my path through the housing area, but it had also patrolled both loops of trail, apparently following my scent. Well, Mr. Coyote, you'll have more to do tomorrow because I tracked you today! Around and around and around we go, hunting woozles, and on each circuit, new woozles join the pack.
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.
