“Lines Written in Early Spring” (excerpt)

I heard a thousand interwoven notes of birdsong while I lay in a grove, where I was enjoying the kind of mood in which happy thoughts remind you of sad ones.

Nature connected my soul to all the beautiful creatures around me—and I felt terribly sad to think about what humanity has done to itself.

Iceland Gull (kumlieni/glaucoides) (Larus glaucoides kumlieni/glaucoides) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Apr 02, 2026 18:18 by Casey Ferio

- Comments: "*continuing first cycle bird out in the channel northwest of the pier with other gulls for a while, occasionally picking up to fly around and dive back into various feeding scrums. Eventually they were roused by the NY Langone ferry and the Iceland gull got up high and soared around for a bit, settling on a streetlight and eventually, for a while, the pier. Very aggressive, attacking the herring gulls around it, but ignoring ring-bills. Eventually it was flushed by people and flew off to somewhere. Didn’t have my camera so I was forced to revert to my roots and digibin it."
