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.

Not So Smug Now
Day 145: Having come away from my first dose of the Moderna COVID vaccine with nothing more than a sore arm, I was hoping I'd breeze through the second half as easily. Nope. By bedtime (early) last night, I was beginning to have chills and aches. By midnight, there wasn't a muscle in my body which didn't feel like I'd been on the losing end of a bar brawl. Even my hand muscles hurt! A blinding headache accompanied the other symptoms, my eyes very light-sensitive. This morning, I'm somewhat improved, but definitely a long way from "perky." In fact, I only got up in order to check in with friends and family, all of whom know what it takes to lay me low.
