Dear All,            July 14, 2007
    I went out this afternoon to map a woods road and take some photos 
and, while waiting for sun, just enjoyed the surroundings by standing 
still or walking very slowly. We had heavy rain late Thursday and the 
moist soil made for quiet walking conditions.

    Highlights during this slow motion period were:
A female hummingbird that flew in and landed on a nearby twig, just 
above eye level, and then flew 3-4 times to other nearby twigs before 
moving on.
A green Tiger Beetle (C. sexgutta) that took off from a cubit away and 
landed on an ~horizontal Bilberry (Amelanchier) twig about arms length 
away.
& A Rabbit (Snowshoe Hare) that loped onto the road and then zig-zagged 
50 paces or so before exiting on the other side.
