Life has gotten a little more complicated this month. I took on eBird’s challenge to turn in 100
observation lists during the month of May, which puts my name into a lottery
for a new pair of binoculars. What that
means is that I have to average three observation lists a day, every day, for
the month. Turns out to be not a small task.
Jeanette, on the
other hand, accepted an opportunity to hike a 40 mile section of the Rogue
River Trail with a group of ladies, which includes my sisters Susan, and Rachel
and my daughter Lisa. What this means for Jeanette is that she needs to be
putting some miles on feet and legs every day in training.
We managed to both work on our goals together Monday with a
trip to Luckiamute Landing State Natural Area, where I birded and Jeanette
hiked. We were something like the old
tail of the Turtle & the Hare. I was
the turtle as I crawled along the trail listening and looking, noting and
photographing every bird I could find, while Jeanette tripped off down the
trail ahead of me rabbit style making several laps around the park burning up
the miles. Should be an interesting month as we both encourage
each other to accomplish our goals.
Sounds like fun! Best of luck to you both!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Patty. Togetherness, at least in the same park!
DeleteGood luck on both your goals.
