My west coast brother has informed me that today is "National Iguana Awareness Day." I kept my eyes open all day but have not seen a single Iguana, captive or running free. I did, however, see a really big bird. No, it wasn't yellow. I was driving south on Maplecrest early this afternoon, when I spotted a really really large gray and black bird standing in the median strip, patiently waiting to cross traffic. The bird was heading east but didn't seem to be in any hurry. As I went past, tail lights were coming on in the north bound lanes. I hope it made it safely across. I've not heard anything on the news about an escaped peacock but it was about that size and female peacocks (peahens) aren't very colorful. Or it might have been a big gray vulture like some we saw in Michigan. Birds and mosquitoes grow large in Michigan. I hope it didn't follow us home.
