Mammoth Goes Visiting and Camps Along The Way, Day 4

Thu 3 Aug

Horrid breakfast. If you take eggs and mix in a whole lot of cheddar cheese, then scorch them dry, you get an amorphous, tasteless mass that mostly resembles cardboard. To go with it, a heavy, floury blueberry muffin drenched in grease. But for supper, I got to eat my yummy leftovers--salad, fish and fruit--while the others ate ham fried rice. They got no vegetables, salad, or fruit. How do you survive when your food is so boring?

No birds other than the expected--peewee, tanager, hummingbird, blue jay, crow, blue-gray gnatcather. But after dark we went outside. Over the very, very loud of hundreds of screaming insects, we heard a soft trilling hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-huu. Not a "whinny" call, but almost certainly a Screech Owl.  It was too far away to get on audio.
