Day 211 - a Year by the Sea

July 30, 2007 by OrientSee.

It seems that the robins are everywhere. The redwings have nearly disappeared and in their place are the young robins like this one enjoying lunch. Some places along my usual path have become virtual robin cities. The new generation has climbed to the middle of the stage while the other has moved stage right, exeunt. It’s only natural but it is hard to realize that something is going until it has gone. I wonder what else I have missed that is gone. Soheil tells me that the shorebirds are disappearing and his opinion is not the only one that says the same thing. Some seem to be already gone (Hudsonian Godwits). Numbers are falling for other species as well. The sad thing is that I never really got to know them.

Ciao!
