Doc suggested at Dx that I get an eye check. Last time was 6 years ago 20/20 in both eyes then, but got 'computer' glasses for eye fatigue. Sitting in front of a computer for 24 years will take it's toll. Mom says I have a family history of Glaucoma, Macular degeneration AND cataracts. Nice. Well, since my maxed out vision care benefits kicked in at new years I finally got to the optometrist. He says that I'm fine except that my distance vision has started to degrade. I'm now 20/30 left and 20/40 right, so glasses for driving he says.
Seeing is so important - I really want to keep it going as long as possible.
I never got a pic of that hawk but DW said she later saw three of them together. A family!
Here's a different intrepid Vermont winter vistor which she did get a pic of:
I'm pretty sure that there is a "Barred Owl" here's a different pic from "someplace on the web".
