***Ten of us enjoyed lightning bugs, an almost full moon, AND fireworks 8:30-10:30 pm on June 25th.

Four (women!) joined me for this.

We saw a bald eagle in the distance, a close up of a young beaver or muskrat
(was near lodge but I never saw the tail), adult beaver, deer swimming across creek, and lightning bugs. Also heard a young barred owl. No moon at all last nite. Only sounds of fireworks; no visuals.
