My Favorite Things through the Four Seasons: Summer
John W. Garbutt- Class of 2019- “On June 20th, about 20 minutes before the summer solstice, a long day of work was complete. As I was leaving and looking westward, a large bird flew over. It may have been the tiredness, but I was sure it was a Barn Owl chasing the last few minutes of spring as it flew toward good hunting grounds.”

My Favorite Things through the Four Seasons: Autumn
John W. Garbutt, Class of 2019- For me, in my youth, I always began thinking of autumn as something in relation to football and Thanksgiving. Now as an adult and birder, the season begins with migration in August. On the morning of the 16th a steady stream of Upland Sandpipers called above on their journey south. It was as if they were attempting to pull the sun lower in the sky and shorten the days toward autumn behind each subsequent wave.
A Favorite Place
John W. Garbutt, Class of 2019- It is a place that you wake at 0100 for so you can arrive before sunrise. At dawn, you set out on the trail, the day’s trailblazer, the brim of your hat cobwebbed. Canyon Wrens great the day with song. An elk bugles in the distance.
