Owl, Canada Geese and Big Bird

6 PM entry via NE Gate. I took my saw and cleared two large fallen logs from orange trail. Also cut away hackberry tree leaning/ laying over the NS Fence Line Trail.
West Wash was full but still. Water largely drained away from the Main SW Trail.. although there remain some large disconnected pools. No water at Beaver Dam. Up on Dune Trail encountered (heard) large bird taking off..but did not see. Sounded like GB Heron or T Vulture. Earlier I heard owl in the south of the Woods. Canada Geese flying over..
Next day, Friday.. what a difference the wind can make. Strong 20-30 mph winds all day and warm 80+ rapidly dried almost all the open water along the Main SW trail..only one or two small pools left.. and the wind continues tonight. I cleared the path to the big log from the Main SW trail and painted new blazes to clarify. Sweet honeysuckle perfume at SW Gate and elsewhere scattered through the Woods.
