Rather Large Bird

Last night I was out gazing at the night sky, marvelling at its brightness and depth.  While this is the same sky, same atmosphere, and same stars (mostly) that  I can see in Canada, this is a sky that is in high definition stereo sound.  I was totally immersed and therefore unnerved when someone cackled at me.  A loud guttural heckle that suggested I was being watched.   I froze.  The sound came from the river.  I reasoned that no human would be out there, but I still ran into the house and locked the doors.

This morning I waded through the river and walked about on the island.  Check out what I found.
