Hi Tim

I know what you mean about the swamps. I have about 80 acres of swamp that borders the back of my Property. About 5 acres of my own swamp.
I could go on and on about the wildlife I have seen here.
Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Hawks, Just about every thing that lives up here. Even flying squirrels.
My song The Hawk on my soundclick page is a true story. It actually happened.
It is amazing.
Salmon and steelhead run the river that borders my property.
I have hunted Deer, Turkey, Rabbit, Squirrel, Ducks, Geese, without ever leaving home.

Someone mentioned Great Blue Herons and not being under one at the wrong time.
I was going to my Mothers house a couple years ago. You have to drive down a narrow drive that boarders a wetland. I startled a Great Blue Heron that was sitting along side the drive. He Flew up right over my truck.
Well my window was open and, you guessed it, he made a deposit. Right through the window onto my left shoulder. What a mess, LOL.
They are big birds.

I love living here.

We just don't have the big animals like up North. Bears, Moose, Elk, Cougars, Wolves, etc. To many people here.
I envy you that Everett.

Bill
