- Bad food? Who knows. Whatever it was, it looks like we'll be here a while. Jane was laid low overnight and is in no condition to fly out of Tucson later today as scheduled. She has rescheduled her flight for Thursday and we will stay here until Thursday morning and hopefully she can recover enough stability and strength to fly by then. Bummer.

Crayfish Chimney
Late one afternoon I sat upon my camera case beside the path where it wound through the darkest part of the woods, down near the pond, and watched a crayfish building his "chimney," the land entrance to his underwater tunnel. He had just started to work above the ground when I first arrived. He came up through the moist black earth, carrying a ball of it between his two enormous fighting claws. Using the claws as hands, he spread the soil around the hole to form the base of the chimney. He then backed down the hole and after several minutes came up with another armful.
