"Seen anything interesting out scouting today"

I was asked that today at least twice, and I just told the questioner that I had seen some displaying Yellow-crowned Night Herons, and a couple of Mississippi Kites.  What I didn't tell them was that on Nummy Island I came face to face with the Black Knight!  I could almost hear him saying "None Shall Pass" as he stood guard atop the dredge spoil pile.  I didn't dare go near since I was unarmed except my binoculars and he would have cut me to pieces!  Scouting is NEVER boring even when the birding is slowin a 30mph wind.
