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 The Thick Of It
Day 5: Three helicopters are now in the air, and the DNR crew told me that they will probably be bringing in planes to drop fire retardant chemicals shortly. The fire was nine acres (relatively small) a few hours ago, but they are concerned about it crossing the ridgeline as the day heats up. It was kept small by cold overnight temperatures and humidity, but now thermal updrafts are a concern.
