Day 368 (2 of 2013): Backyard highway


Deer at dusk


Turkey time

Our backyard is a veritable highway for turkeys and deer.  The critters entertained me as I spent most of the day working on the four day hike chapter.  It hurt to see the word count decline, but I deleted three paragraphs whose topics were addressed in other chapters.  I am trying to inject more references to specific natural phenomenon like the plants, geological formations and birds that we observe while hiking.  So, I read sections of the Roger Torey Peterson's Natural History Atlas of the Chautauqua Region.  I also reread a dozen student interview transcripts to pull out comments that I used to highlight and illustrate our activities.  I'm hoping to complete the editing of this chapter by Saturday or Sunday.
