Day 282 - a Year by the Sea

Today was a dreary day with rain threatening and so I had no hopes of seeing much today. As I started walking up the path through the thicket, I met this fellow pedestrian. It wasn’t too disturbed. It just picked up its pace and moved on up the path and out of sight. I was surprised that it made no noise or effort to take off. Then the rest of the walk through the thicket was terrific. Robins, warblers, woodpeckers, sparrows, crows and starlings, all were out and noisy. It was like springtime. It seemed like every bush and tree had a bird in it. I wish that I had an experienced birder along with me because most of the little fast moving birds were just a blur of unfamiliarity to me. It was great to see and hear so much. The marsh on the other hand was very sedate with little to see. Today it was all about the smaller guys and not the herons. It made up for the gray day.

Ciao!
