A change of place, instead of PP, I went today, despite the chilly, rainy morning to G-WC. The area know as Sylvian Water, was the most active spot in the Cemetery.  I saw 3 sps of swallows, Rusty Blackbird, Eastern Bluebird, 2 sps of warblers.  The rest of the walk was kind of too slow, bird activity talking.
And of course, the colony of Monk Parakeet, brought some light to this ugly day.
