June 28
June 28, 2008 by OrientSee.
This is a disturbing image. It looks like a wounded leg but is not. A mower clipped the root of a tree and damaged the bark. I have never seen the interior of a tree that looked like this. It is an unusual sight.
The Ospreys were still by the platform. Because of the morning fog, the floodlights at the Orient Heights Train Yard were on and one of the Osprey was perched on it. All I could think of was a car seat warmer. It was enjoying the perch. It was a usual sort of morning otherwise. A small gang of Grackles was being very noisy at the entrance to the Overlook path. Not even the Redwings could challenge them for sheer volume. At the Overlook panne, the ducklings were busy feeding with a few Yellowlegs and a Snowy Egret. Quite suddenly a bird was enraged and repeatedly flew at me making a great deal of noise. It was a Willet.
There must have been a nest nearby because it was so insistent and loud.
I got something in my boot so I sat down on the stairs of the Overlook to get it out and looked up to find two Cedar Waxwings perched close by.
The park was quiet but the meadow was filled with flowers and the scents of summer. Some one else echoed my thought that he was glad that we had this place to walk in every day and enjoy.
Ciao!
