September 20

Signs of the time. The other day before sunrise I saw Orion, the winter constellation.  Today I saw speckles. The Starlings are putting on their winter plumage, spots instead of solid black, green and purple.  The best sign is that I no longer need to coat myself with bug spray.

The thickets were fairly empty and a few egrets were wandering around. At the Boardwalk two Great Egrets were feeding in and by one of the pannes.  It was a moment of still beauty. These two were not quarreling and the morning quiet was full.

Overhead a flock of southbound cormorants flew by.

An enjoyable walk this morning.

Ciao!
