September 19
September 19, 2008 by OrientSee.
Today was definitely windy, cool and fall. The rich greens are fading. Reds and golds are clearly evident everywhere. It’s my kind of weather and a walk today was the best treat.
The only better way to have toured the marsh today was by rowboat and these people certainly knew best.
The thickets were quiet except for a few insects. No catbirds squawking, no crows calling out alarms. Just dappled shadows and crickets. Out by the Boardwalk, two Snowy Egrets were bothering each other. One had his crest up and it looked like a mating dance of some kind. A few Great Egrets were spread across the flats but far out. A Great Blue Heron was on the Winthrop side of the creek.
Walking through the park meadow, I found the milkweed pods opening up. The seeds were tugging with the wind to get free.
On the way out of the park, this plant did purple with boundless enthusiasm.
I didn’t get to see the Whimbrel which some one spotted yesterday but it was still a great day to be out.
Ciao!
