The OLLI Picnic .....and the Government Shutdown

No worries re the picnic next Wed. It is still a go, and our class is still a go, as we said this morning. I am posting this short note because NO OTHER classes are being held next Wed, so I just wanted to be sure that we confirmed our exception, because we are at the picnic location.

Re the US Government shutdown: From your comments, our class today really enjoyed ignoring the shutdown, which included Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. How were we able to ignore it? Because we could still bird Prime Hook using public roads. Just another example that us older folks are oftentimes still quite capable and resourceful!!!

And we saw many great birds today, like Wild turkeys, Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Northern Harriers, many Greater Yellowlegs, plus LOTS of ducks in eclipse cryptic plumage, including N. Shovelar, N. Pintail, Black Duck, Green and Blue-winged Teal, Gadwall, and others.
