My wife RuthAnn and I arrived at Parking Field 5, RMSP at ~ 1520. We started walking toward the lighthouse together, but soon parted. She has a fast pace, and wanted a good workout, while I walk slower than she does, even when there isn't many birds to admire ! When I finally reached the "Light", I found Ruth relaxing on one of the commemorative benches that have been placed around the base of it. After a short stay, we headed back toward the car, with Ruth resuming her power walk, while I headed west in my comfortable gait...but not before reading all the dedication plaques on each of the ~ dozen benches - all having wonderful sentiments expressed !
I, of course, was last getting back, finding a contented spouse, matching my feelings exactly ! Although there weren't many birds, I did see 2 Peregrine Falcons, an immature in flight, as I approached the "Light", along with a perched adult, busily eating its prey, and providing some neat photos, on my return leg.
