May 29

I have been busy and so today I remembered lush. So far this year the marsh has been mostly straw colored with the dry grass and reeds. Today out in the flats, green is now the dominant color and soon it will become the deep lush color of summer everywhere. Busy plants, busy birds and busy busy busy. Healthy burgeoning growth like this flower.

It was a bright clear day but filled with blustery wind that I especially noticed on my bike earlier out at Deer Island. The wind and dropping tide meant that there weren’t many birds out and about. A Snowy Egret was behind the train yard at Rosie’s Pond and an Osprey was up on the platform. The Mourning Doves seemed more active than usual and of course the Redwings were everywhere. Unfortunately no Orioles today. Just as I was leaving the park, a spot of yellow called from a tree. It was this Yellow Warbler.

So today’s theme was yellow.

Ciao!
