Date of Adventure: Wed. 3 Dec. 2008
Place of Adventure: Pittsford Trails
Length of Adventure, miles: 2.4
Length of Adventure, hours: 1.25
Companion(s): Reno
Other Adventurists Encountered: None
Weather: Sunny! Temps in the low 40's.
Points of Interest: 1. Water. Apparently dogs don't care if it is only 40 degrees. If there is open water, dogs want to go swimming. 2. Water again. The debris damn is really getting interesting. It's blocking most of the river. I can't wait to see what happens in the spring when all the snow melts, and the river rises. 3. The drive home. This wasn't really part of the hike, but I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I hadn't been hiking. On the drive home I witnessed several crows or ravens or blackbirds (I'm not exactly sure which they were) chase off a very large hawk. The hawk was probably 50% bigger than the other birds. I was looking into the sun, so I didn't get a really good look at the hawk. I know it was brownish, and had a white chest. And it was big. It flew really low right in front of my car, and then over my car. I was driving up the middle of the road trying to watch it. I was able to watch it land in a tree on the side of the road, and then I was able to turn around in a side road and go back. I parked in a nearby driveway and walked across the yard to try and get a better look at the hawk. I even had my camera with me. Unfortunately, the hawk must have flown off in the time it took me to park and get out of the car. It was still really awesome to see, though. Then I took a picture of the other birds, because I had to take a picture of something.
