I took a day off yesterday and went north to where the pa’tridge (ruffed grouse for non-New Englanders) and woodcock, she run free and wild. When I’m bird hunting, I’m not thinking deep thoughts; one of the many things I love about it is that I’m paying attention to the moment – the dog, the cover and occasionally the bird.

In the Library<\/a>? Hmm…<\/p>\n

A few additional pictures (there should be more along soon) on my ‘bird hunting ’07<\/a>‘ Flickrset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
