Swamp walk qday 172 supplemental: I actually got a quick peek at the bald eagle! Not the best shot, but he is a big boy, full white head and tail.

Swamp walk quarantine day 172

Critters were awesome today! Left at about 8am, Alexa said it was 70⁰F, but no, it was at least 75 or more, at least with the moist air and tree wall breaking the bay breeze.

2 bald eagles, 1 albino squirrel, gigantic v of geese, “alien” black cat, panda the cat, fluffernutter cat, all before I got to the swamp proper.

Kettlebell neighbor guy says that the bald eagle lives in the tree behind his house, a different location than the two-year olds down the road. I hope they aren’t having territory issues.

Humans seen aside from kettlebell guy were all in vehicles, kettlebell wasn’t wearing a mask, but he was well away on his driveway.

Once I got to the swamp, there were a few roads and frogs, and I saw a turtle butt bloop into the water before camera was ready. Ground was very wet post rain, hardly any mosquitoes. I still imagine the frogs had plenty to eat.

Back is better today, either due to stretching, walking , or meds. Likely a combo. Running about a 4-5, over yesterday’s 7.

The “v” of geese was more like a drawn path of a ball bounced down stairs. They had a lot to say, honk-wise.
