November 4
November 4, 2008 by OrientSee.
It was an incredibly mild and warm day for November. Sunny and bright. The leaf colors are just about peak around here and the drop has commenced in earnest. As the trees grow bare, all the nests are revealed that were nearly invisible earlier. I was admiring the colors of this maple and realized that I was also seeing an abandoned nest. More will come clear shortly. Rosie’s Pond was very quiet. It was midday and the tide was still low. So it was no surprise that little was stirring.
The Long Thicket and the Overlook were also very quiet although it was very peaceful. I just about gave up when two RedTails flew overhead and I think that they were the same pair from a few days ago. One was a little ragged and the other younger and very sleek.
The park was quiet but on the way out a male Cardinal plopped down in one of the large bushes. It wasn’t quite successful in concealing itself and a beak full of food.
The creek from the Bennington St. bridge at first glance was empty but then a little patience revealed five or so YellowLegs including this one centered in the ripples of it own contrivance.
A mild day like this in November is its own reward.
Ciao!
