Woody and Dave were up early for another morning of Turkey hunting, close but no cigar once again. If you are interested in the details of their turkey hunt click on the link below.

While in the bush this morning Woody saw this little critter, he put down his hat, the Newt climbed in and rode in his ball cap until Woody had time to snap these pictures.
Red-spotted Newt
Newts are unique in that they undergo two metamorphoses: from an aquatic, gilled larva to a terrestrial red eft stage, and then from eft to aquatic adult. In the eft stage, the red-spotted newt has bright orange or red skin, which warns predators of its noxiousness, and a round tail. Adults are typically olive-green, but vary from yellow-brown to dark green and have a keeled tail for swimming. At all life stages, newts can have up to 21 red spots. Adults are typically between 5.7 and 12.2 cm long, and efts are typically between 3.5 and 8.6 cm long.
Habitat
Adults and larvae are aquatic and may be found occupying ponds and lakes. The terrestrial red efts often taken cover beneath leaf litter in woodland habitats.
After lunch Woody installed some connectors for our dish on the fifth wheel, now we can connect our dish without running the cable through a storage door, completed some other chores before Dave and he started to work on the bow and arrows. They worked on getting the arrows done until Randi arrived home, with the shrimp that was ordered a few days ago when a friend called and asked if she and Dave would like some shrimp, frozen right on the boat, well of course they did and Woody ordered 5 lbs. Today the shrimp arrived so guess what was for dinner tonight, yes Woody was in heaven eating his fill of shrimp. Thanks, Randi for delivering a delicacy that tantalizes Woody’s palette, he will be forever grateful. Shrimp fresh from the boat is a luxury that prairie dwellers do not have the opportunity to indulge in often.
After dinner, Woody went back to Dave’s so they could continue their work on the bow. Randi and I joined them a little later.

Checking email, working on the blog and reading my favourite forums consumed my morning, ah what an exhausting morning!
