Hardly a spotless ceramic tub but a street pool can be a very nice bath tub. One Robin is watching as another is busy bathing.

The thicket behind New England Casket has a few older and therefore taller mulberry trees. This afternoon those trees were actually shaking as all kinds of birds were feeding on the fruit. There were Sparrows, a Baltimore Oriole, Robins, Waxwings, Starlings, and a Woodpecker. It was a show. There were a few Snowy Egrets and a Great Egret in Rosie’s pond. The flats were quiet. Two Osprey chicks were clearly visible. A very public spirited group of three people collected tidal debris into their row boat and carried it off. It is great that there are people out there caring for the marsh.

The park was especially beautiful with all the flowers waving in the breeze. This butterfly was busy and so I got a photo of it.

Along Bennington St. the lonely Catalpa tree is in bloom and is very attractive.

A good day for a walk with plenty to see and admire.

Ciao!
