You don't need a canoe for bird study.  We were out with the Minnesota Austin-Healey Club on their Color Tour yesterday.  From the open TR4, we were watching two bald eagles in flight.  Then Sue got a much closer look at a ring-necked pheasant which flew up to the right side of the car.  Sue said she could have caught him by hand and cooked him at the bonfire that followed the tour.

Fantastic weather for the tour and bonfire in western Wisconsin.  Our trip back to The Cities was marked by running in the rain with the top off.  TR44SUE  is resting in the shop with many fans running now.
