Last night after I had written my blog I went down stairs and we had dinner.
After we had dinner we got ready and went out to Starrigavan to look for owls (I had gotten a spot light in the mail earlier in the day).
Once we got out there I got out of the car and stood there listing while dad whistled to try to call for the owls. A short time later we heard a couple of owls calling back and forth to each other. I looked around with my spot light to see if I could see the owls. It took quite a while but I was finally to find one of the owls. We walked closer to the owl and I kept the spot light on the owl and we took some photos of it. We watched it for a little while then it was getting late, so we went back to the car and headed home.
Once we got home I got ready and went to bed.
The next morning I got up got dressed and ate some breakfast then went up and got on the computer, and did some stuff on the computer. A while later Rowan made lunch and we went down stairs into the kitchen and we ate lunch.
After lunch I went up Gavan hill and wondered around for a little while to see what I could see. I saw a lot of deer tracks and tried to follow some of them but I was unable to find any deer. When I was done up Gavan hill I headed home.
Once I got home I got onto the computer for a little while then I went down into my room for a little while. A short time later dad told me that the Virgina rail was still down at the lake, so I went down there to look for it.
Once I got down there I looked around in the snow for the rails tracks. I found some tracks from either the rail or a snipe or both. I walked up the edge of the swamp a little ways and looked around and while I was looking around at the tracks in the snow I saw a snipe get up and fly. A short time later I saw another bird get up and fly and I thought to my self that that looked like the rail. I saw had seen ruffly where it had landed, so I walked up in the brush and just sat down and waited and a few minutes later I saw the rail come down off a hill and then fly back down to where it had come from. I walked back down there and stood there and watched and waited for the rail to show its self. After I while I got another glims of the rail but it disappeared again. It did this several more times until it was time for me to go do my paper route so I left.
Once I got home I left to do my paper route.
Once I was done with my paper route I went up and got on the computer and started doing my blog.
- Question if I go look for the rail tomorrow will I find it?
- Question where did the rail go when I did not see it?
- Question will I be able to go look for the rail tomorrow?
