Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

October's "Woodcock Moon"
On October 27th we will experience the full moon of the month and it's the one I like to call the "Woodcock Moon."
Legend and lore has it that the greatest migration flight of woodcock from the Maritime Provinces and Downeast Maine will be riding the air currents to warmer climes. I intend to be there to intercept them on Saturday morning, the 31st (weather permitting) high on our "Scrubapple Hillside" in Vermont. I was there last Sunday and found not a single woodcock feather, but immediately after the Woodcock Moon in most of the recent years we have found them there. Not always in significant numbers like we found them three years ago but numbers enough to provide hope and to know we haven't been forsaken by the 'Red Gods' of autumn. I just know we'll do better with Grace this year. She got a snootful of woodcock last year and even found one I thought I had marked down forty feet from where she pinned it.
