Smoke detector batteries wear out at 5 am.

It’s happened twice since I’ve been back. Starting the day by lurching around the house, pawing blearily at the walls and ceilings trying to figure out which one is beeping is a minor nuisance once. Twice in a week is pushing it, though.

But in the meantime, here’s some pics from the birding walk I went on this weekend. They were taken by Jay. I haven’t gotten my pics off the camera yet. I’ll post those when I do.

Baby snowy owls!

Little lemming hiding under the walkway where the gulls won't get him.
