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.

Sound & Fury Morris
Day 227 (bonus post): Despite temps in the mid-80s, Sound & Fury Morris filled Seattle Center's McCaw Promenade with dancers yesterday at Folklife Festival. We danced in rotation with three other sides, sometimes coming together for "massed dances" of performers from the various groups. I doubled as a musician, playing bodhran during the dances I haven't learned. It's rare to see so many of us together. Our Squire puts the side's total membership at 21 (not counting fishy Finn, our hobby). Here you see 17 of us with one future member of the Morris Offspring peeking out from behind my left elbow. We'll be back at Folklife today!
