April 10

April 10, 2008 by OrientSee.

Today’s chief joy has been the sun and warmth. For a while I sat beneath the tall snag out in the long thicket and was content. The Redwings were noisy but it was a place of calm and with the sun on my face all was good with my world. Everything was very quiet (not the pheasant though) and not much was stirring. Low tide slows the pace of life in the marsh. Any day now the place will explode as the big migration starts to pass through. Today I saw the first tree swallows of the season. Swallows mean flying bugs and that means food for lots of other species. I expected to see a snake or two with all the sun and warmth but no luck. These two ducks seem to have become used to me. They scarcely moved as I walked past. Usually they’ll take to wing or quickly waddle away as I come near. We’re expecting some cooler rainy weather this weekend and then maybe the warblers!?!?

Ciao!
