I drove down the dirt road, behind the faded No Trespassing
sign, and parked off to the side, next to a locked gate. We
walked into the forest from there. When I bumped into the
deer, I guess I was on private property. That was when
I saw the Yellow Rumped Warbler and the Hooded Warbler.
And the Gray Catbird. Do I get to count these birds on my
Life List, even though I broke the rules?
When we were leaving, some old codger in a pick-up truck
stopped and asked us if we were looking for someone. I told
him that we were looking for birds. He smiled and drove on.
I'm guessing he was a tenant farmer or a custodian, because
he did not look rich enough to own all the land.
That Loggerhead Shrike with shredded paper in his beak was on
public property. Even Woody Guthrie could not complain. "This
land is your land, this land is my land...".
