As you may know I like to walk. On a good day I will walk ten to twelve miles. Last year my daily average was 11.1 per day for a total of 4051 miles for the year.
One of my joys of walking is seeing the sights surrounding us that we never see when driving.
Last week I saw a herd of deer in the swamp literally fifty feet from me. I never would have seen them driving.
Today I hit the jackpot. I was walking north on Atlantic Street coming up to the Old Town Hall. I looked up to see the time and there was a hawk watching the sights of downtown Stamford.
If I hadn’t been walking and looked up at that moment I never would have spotted the hawk. Quite often I will see a hawk landing on a tree. If I didn’t see them land, they would be invisible on the tree. They blend in very well sitting on trees.
In one sense I don’t like the leaves arriving in the Spring. The leaves camouflage the birds and animals too well.
My goal is to spot a bear. They are around in North Stamford.
