May 1 and Hot, Peregrine Falcon


The last week was warm and dry, then cold and rainy, with the year's final big snow storm in the mountains (we hope) - up to 30 inches in the Greens, and Extreme avalanche warmings up in Tucks. A normal New England Spring. Then Saturday it was almost 90 and muggy. Too hot for me this early in the year. Everything is blooming.

Driving home from Shaker Village Saturday morning I topped the hill in Canterbury Center, drove down the hill a bit, then was joined by a beautiful Peregrine Falcon flying 10 feet outside my driver's window. We drove and flew together, eye to eye, checking each other out, for maybe 30 seconds. That was incredible!
