We have a lot of physical labor to do today and tomorrow so, at the time we would have gone to a coffee place, we went to a drive-through and took our coffee out to Crane Hollow. Getting out to enjoy the natural world is the best way to prepare for work. Puts everything in perspective.
There are ponds to the west of Hygiene (the actual name of the town) that serve a large population of Great Blue Herons. It's a large colony and a bird paradise of sorts. There are also Red-Winged Blackbirds, geese, ducks, hawks, and owls there. Alas, no Cranes at Crane Hollow, misnamed by pioneers a long time ago.
