In the last letter I recounted the excitement in getting to California but I neglected to spend any time discussing some of the amazing stuff to be found in that storied land. Each morning my wife and I would have our morning coffee and then take a relaxing walk to a wildlife rehab and education place (the Lindsay Museum) and that trip always contained two highlights. The first, and a must-stop for us - were the chicken/duck houses. Two private homes that were keeping the old ways alive and raising their own chickens.
I’ve never been to or heard of the Lindsay Museum, but it seems like a good place to observe wildlife and find material for a blog or cartoon. I haven’t any bird lore to share. Our neighborhood is overrun with noisy crows, but at night I hear owls hoo-hoo-ing in the Eucalyptus trees. Never have seen one, but the sound is more welcome than the revving engines of late-night partygoers.

Apparently owls can fly silently.
