We stood at the parking lot and swapped stories with Wes, Carol and Wendy. Then that fox ran right across the trail chasing the pheasant, Wes said A gray fox I in pursuit of a cock pheasant or was the pheasant drawing the fox from a nest site? They showed me the snakes yesterday, Wendy told us. Seems like Wes and Carol get all the good stuff. Aden of garter snakes emerging in a tangle of bodies. Different sizes of snakes (different ages) slithered out into the spring sunshine. On Friday, Jean Lea left a message on my machine - thirty-on- e vultures soaring over the Moab Valley, I added Seems like we spent a good deal of time talking about recent sightings.

Almost temI to look Luna carried perature, at some leopard frog eggs that I had seen two weeks ago Tadpoles, papa, Luna said I thought she meant water stnd-er- s which were cruising over the surface of the pool I looked down into the murky water at tiny, long black tadpoles wiggling in the water. Talk about your quick life cycle' These frogs get a proverbial jump on the sea foot-numbi- 259-549- had pieces of apples in them Not to settle with just the observation, Wes and I had discussed the nearby apple sources, the rate of decay of old apples, and nutritional value of old apple peelings mixed in with Russian olive seeds Nothing like a little natural history conversation between locals on a Sunday in Spring After we left, Wendy went to watch snakes with Judy and Katherine I thought about how we would leave the Matheson Preserve today much, much richer in stories of this wild place on the edge of town half-inc- h son. Thirty cold toes later, we were back on the boardwalk and heading round the loop Katherine and Judy joined us near the teaching circle More story swapping The other day I counted sixty turkey vultures over Moab, Katherine said HSBE The price for the Bounty Paper Towels in the February Value Card Savings Book on page 24 is incorrect.
