The piles are gradually disappearing, thanks to fire, but it may be some time yet. This afternoon I recorded the newly mechanized landscape. It will change over time. The jolt of the radical clearing is balanced by the hope that the long-term view will be more pleasing.
One thing I've noticed is more open-country birds are flying by. I've seen an American Kestrel, Eastern Phoebe and Red-tailed Hawk in the past week. I saw what appeared to be Bobcat scat this morning, which was interesting. The only bobcat I've seen was a dead one, perhaps killed by one of hte neighbors.
