January 7, 2016, Prescott- This is a short ditty, in honour of a friend’s Winter, 2016 Scavenger Hunt. (You realize this means I may do two posts a day, for the near future. )
Eyes doing a two-seventy
Surveying the snowscape
for signs that a small, gray meal
might attempt an escape.
Silly raptor,
the meals are all underground
Safe and warm,
in their nests nicely bound.
What is left for an owl to do,
but let out a plaintive
“HOO, HOO,HOO, HOO”?
Such great rhythm and rhyme!

Silly raptor indeed! In the arctic, the Arctic Fox runs along, and hears its prey under the snow — it leaps in a wonderful arc, and lands exactly on the poor mouse (or whatever)! No escaping the Arctic Fox — and meantime the Snowy Owl can only say ‘Hoo hoo, hoo!’ Nicely done, Gary!

I would imagine the raptor actually can see very well. I would love to watch an Arctic fox leap about with joy.

I’ve seen an arctic fox, but missed his leap — I’ve seen it on video, though, and it’s pretty neat to watch — they’re amazingly accurate when going after food!

O.k., I was lost. May be it must because it is Saturday for me, and I am unable to capture many things.
Wish a Very Happy New Year Gary, and I am slowly catching up with everyone now. 🙂

On this Saturday, I will write 4 or 5 posts, but first I shall rest, after a 5 mile hike in the snow.
