Serious Business


  The Great Blue herons were jousting in the pine treetops across the creek when I came down the trail this evening. They sounded like dinosaurs disagreeing.  There was another sound mixed in and I had a hard time figuring it until I got across the creek and away from the sound of the creek.  It was a puppy whimpering somewhere back in the brush.  I tried whistling them up and then walked the four tracker track on the powerline howling.  I got them to answer a few times but they seemed to be moving away from me.  Maybe I was hearing a coyote or a bobcat get one.  It just faded back into the hills.
  Finally there wasn't anything and I came out up the indian village.
