Juvenile Delinquent Terrorizing The Neighbourhood

 Walked out the door for my afternoon walk and caught a young fellow casing the street.   He looked me straight in the eye and carried on vandalizing the hedge.  Fortunately these hedges have a habit of growing back.  

My objective was to drop off books at a pop up library on the way, and I also changed my route a bit to include a very steep hill.  Need to up my cardio game, or whatever.  I must admit I paused halfway up.

Throughout my walk there were eagles in ones and twos circling above, and when I returned to our street, just above me there were no less than 9 in a circular flight pattern. 

So, they're back. Haven't seen so many since last fall. My guess is that  they're getting ready for some fishing, in about a month the herring arrive just off shore and there's lots of food around for them.    

My walk included passing a large scraped section that was a dense forest last year, this year the diggers will move in.  No wonder that baby deer has to look up and down our street for a meal.
