Monday Fran and I spent an inordinate amount of time waiting for and
dealing with plaster people, telephone people, and landscape people.  Even
with all this, we heard our first Willet of the year sounding off from the
marsh as well as a pair of Great Horned owls dueting in the trees along the
back of our lot at about 11:30 last night.  I heard them in my sleep, I
think but quickly came out to the kitchen to turn on the baby monitor to
really get an earful!  Here=92s our full Worcester yard list for Monday, 14
