This chick very deliberately walked 50 yards toward the beach in 15 foot sessions while we were working on the beach this morning. When it reached the water it walked in and started paddling for Siberia. Since they don't have waterproof feathers at this point in their lives this is a deadly activity. They usually figure this out and return to shore like a wet chicken. This one kept going until I couldn't stand to watch it drown and I swam out and brought it up the beach to dry out. When we left the beach an hour later it was wandering like it was undecided about another swim.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photo of the Easter monument, and on Easter!
Sounds like everything is going well and you're having a great time.
What's the status of the old Navy Mess Hall? and the Hydrophonic garden?
