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.

Fourth Of July Parade
Day 265: You've got to love small-town parades. The citizenry of Eatonville lined the streets along the one-mile route despite cooler than usual temperatures. We had a good turnout of Parkies and their families, and even brought the Park's fire engine down off the Mountain to bring up the rear behind a patrol car. Superintendent Randy King led the way, carrying the Park's banner with the assistance of Junior Ranger Logan, and following right behind them, Mount Rainier National Park's BioBlitz dance team repeated their energetic routine at every intersection and stop along the way to the tune of "Bird Machine (feat Alesia)". A grand time was had by all, but it may take me until July 4, 2017 to recover!
