This morning I ran into my neighbor, Dick Burns while on my morning hike along Kaweah River Drive. He was on his morning bird watching walk. When I greeted him with a "Good Morning Dick," he smiled and said "It was only a glad good morning
as she passed along the way,
but it spread the mornings glory
over the live long day"
Dick is a retired park service employee and a lifelong bird watcher, hence the field glasses around his neck. Just this morning, he pointed out a Red Tail Hawk's nest and babies way up in the top of our neighbors Sycamore tree. Dick knows the names of all the local birds and many of the migratory birds traveling through the area heading to points North and South. He has a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm and loves to share his excitement about visiting birds with his neighbors.
It is a joy to live in this wonderful community where people know your name and greet you warmly along trails and in business's throughout Three Rivers. The warmth of our community is one of the things most newcomers find endearing.
