200326/200329 cooper’s hawks and covid 19
200326
the cooper’s hawks are nesting in the tree three houses south. they often sit in our two maples. one of the two started calling around feb 15, then on march 3 a second one answered. they disappeared for a week or two (honeymoon?), and i was afraid we’d lost them, but they’ll be here now until summer . there has been a nesting pair nearby for three or four years.
it is day 16 of the covid19 pandemic. the streets have been empty for days. i am seeing only dog walkers and joggers. occasionally a person with a stroller. only intermittently does a car drive by. the main roads are a little busier but it still looks like a sunday at rush hour! i was reading the local paper (delivered) on the porch today, with medical gloves on. the weather is lovely and warm.
i hear the hawks talking back and forth across the circle.

captain covid - day 19
i have actually expected something like this for decades. for the 30 years we have lived in this house we have kept emergency supplies: water, food, flashlights. on march 4 i sent the kids (adults) and my husband an emergency list for the coming weeks.
i didn’t know if i would live to see the day, but here we are: “social distancing”, wearing gloves, shutting stores and businesses. some countries are in full lockdown.
