So here's a Public Service Announcement for everyone this morning.
On my daily lap around Union Res this morning I was treated to the "usual" count of approximately 10,000 Cackling geese and a personal high count of 25 Balds.
I finished up at the picnic area near the entrance and had stopped under one of the tall cotton woods watching 4 juvies chasing each other right above me. While watching through the (closed) sun roof, several small branches fell on my car roof as they were fussing with each other. I saw a bigger branch (or so I assumed it was) falling and was surprised when it landed next to my open window with a rather loud "ker-plop". Linguists might argue it was a "ker-splat".
Nope, NOT a twig but a rather mangled fish landed maybe a foot away. Alright then, I will show myself out once it starts raining fish.
So children, today's lesson is to keep your sunroof closed while observing raptors that are trying to have breakfast. And with apologies to Leatherman and Floyd, I did not get an ID of the fish. It was wet, scaly and missing large chunks out of it.
