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.

Townsend Two-fer
Day 300: It goes without saying that I'm probably trying to dip the ocean dry with a teaspoon, but for the past four or five years, I have been steadily relocating squirrels and chipmunks from my yard to habitats where they can't get in nearly as much trouble. That said, I have never caught a "two-fer" before. I don't know who was more surprised, me or my two Townsend captives. They were transported several miles up the road, released into a welcoming forest and when I got home, I had no sooner reset the trap than another one of the cheeky little buggers showed up under the bird feeder. Sigh. You just can't win.
