We have two, perhaps three Wood Duck nests still going as of Sunday, so we're in for waders in mid-June. I hope it stays as cool as it has been.

A Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) has taken over one of the boxes, and we have another nest that could be of a Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus).

Today's entry could be titled, "Adventures in Intermodal Transportation."

Leta's knee was uncooperative this morning, thus she was a bit leery about driving. So I drove her in her car home to Aspen Hill. I then caught a 26 Ride-On bus to Glenmont and took the subway to Vienna. I got in a cab at the taxi stand there and got to work at lunchtime.

In the evening I took a 403 Fairfax Connector back to Dunn Loring station, rode one stop back into town and then took a 551 out to Reston. It dropped me on South Lakes Drive a quarter mile from my front door, more than an hour after I'd left work.
