While walking this morning, down my road, I noticed a trail I had never been down only about 100 yds from my property.

I had seen children go down this trail last year, but I had never follwed it.

In spite of the drought, this area seemed moist and cool, with plenty of mosquitos. I figured there must be a swamp nearby.

The trail meandered for about a quarter mile. I know this will all be developed soon because the property is for sale.

I came to a little clearing.

Was this buzzard an omen?
