We also saw lots of the usual suspects (grackels, = eagles, bluejays, robins, chickadees, ravens, a couple of distant ducks, = and sparrows.) There were pleantiful deertracks once we got into the = chopping, and we found a strange clump of dark corse mammal fur on the = road, but couldn't come up with a good guess between us what it came off = of or how it got there. Mid-morning, we stopped for a snack. I discovered a tick in my pant = cuff, and Gary discovered wildflowers. At first we assumed they were = mayflowers -- none of us are really flower-smart. Later, on examination = of the pictures we took, they were clearly Sweet White Violets (Viola = blanda ). At Little River we saw six bald eagles soaring high, two of = them entangling and dropping momentarily at one point.
