I like the following endearments. Two years ago, I spent half an hour at
a highway construction traffic tie-up in the mtns of Nevada. We were near
a large pond ringed by marsh and cottonwood. I talked with the woman
flagman who had been enjoying watching the redtails nesting in the
cottonwoods and the "great blue herrings" in the lake.
