Outdoors with Larry Dablemont: What sounds like a trumpet?
That flock of eleven is something I will not forget seeing.
We didn’t get a deer that afternoon; in fact, we never even saw

Truck tires on gravel, then edge-of-town asphalt. Yellow street lamps light the way, one block, two blocks... At the edge of light, a figure darts across the road. I blink.
