Comments: Walking day. Met with Lanna and walked all over for three hours. A bit chilly. Saw a pair of Acorn Woodpeckers up-close pecking at the steel crossbeams of the pedestrian bridge. :) Watched a male-female pair of mallards feeding. The plastic feeding bowls for cats I discovered last Tuesday have been torn to shreds. :P Noticed a wire and rope on the tree under the pedestrian bridge. Looks like someone rigged up a system to swing out over the water, but the rope broke, and they abandoned it. Lanna braved wading in the icy river water up to her ankles for over ten seconds, then decided she had had enough and quickly came ashore. :) I had bet her no longer than five seconds, but I think her feet were warmed by the double-pair of socks she wore. ;) Lanna recognized the sound of a hummingbird, a fickle, and others. A few bees were going in and out of their tree, but otherwise the patch of woods was quiet. We found someone had created a heart from stones in the clearing, and so Lanna constructed a heart of her own.
