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.

In Days Of Old
Day 276: Okay, don't everybody fall down laughing. Yes, that is indeed Your Humble Narrator, way back in the Carbon River days. Just for chuckles, I dragged the slide out of my archives and had a friend scan it for me, but age will take its toll on slides and Crows alike. I'm not sure which of us fared the worst. I will admit that the uniform I wear today is a few sizes larger...well, the pants and shirt, anyway...hat size decreased when the Afro disappeared...and the insignia changed from the shield design to the current round patch. That said, I transferred one of the old patches to my new hat, proud to be one of the "Old-Timers" in the Park.
